Aims of the Project:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research on the biological basis of binge-eating has been limited despite Binge-Eating Disorder being the most prevalent eating disorder and a significant public health problem. This study will be comparing women who have Binge Eating Disorders (overweight, normal weight) to matched Healthy Controls (overweight, normal weight).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Procedure:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. First, a preliminary phone conversation will be scheduled to allow for research staff to provide more information about the study and determine if the study is a good fit for you.<\/p>\n

2. If eligible, you will be invited to our lab at Temple University Main campus for a clinical screen. You will be asked to complete questionnaires before the visit to shorten the visit. If you are seeing a physician, we ask that you bring their details to the in-person visit. Please bring any medication details to the in-person visit as well.<\/p>\n

3. If this study is a good fit for you, you will be asked to participate in other sessions, which can include an assessment of visual and memory spatial tasks, a taste test, and collection of your saliva.<\/p>\n

4. If this study is a good fit for you, and you are fMRI eligible, we will also ask you to visit our lab for a mock fMRI scan so that you can orient yourself to the tasks you will be doing in the real scanner.<\/p>\n

5. The third visit will take place at Temple University Hospital where participants will look at images of food in the fMRI and photos will be taken of their brain.<\/p>\n
