Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The main outcome of this study is the difference in taste activation in response to exposure to different caloric and non-caloric food stimuli, independent of sweetness (i.e. the difference in voxel activation in the brain).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. The 1st secondary outcome is taste activation in response to caloric and non-caloric stimuli during hunger and during satiety (i.e. the difference in voxel activation in the brain);<br /><br>2. The 2nd secondary outcome is the correlation between taste activation in response to exposure to caloric and non-caloric stimuli and subject characteristics like reward sensitivity, delayed discounting and impulsivity(i.e. the correlation between voxel activation in the brain and scores from the following questionnaires/tasks: the Kirby monetary choice questionnaire, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), the Health and Taste Attitude questionnaire (HTAS), the Behavioral Inhibition System and Behavioral Approach System questionnaire (BIS/BAS), a stroop task and an n-back task.
