Functional Brain Imaging and neurobehavioural tasks

"Combination of 3 neurobehavioural tasks:~Task 1 consists in subjective value rating of 64 food items. Participants are asked to rate how much they would want to eat the presented food item while fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging ) scanning is performed.~Task 2 consists in rating of subjective nutrient factor of the same 64 food items. Participants will answer the following four categorical questions in randomized order for each item: low or high in added sugar/protein/fat and healthy or unhealthy.~Task 3 consists of a decision-making task. Participants will be presented with two food items (out of the 64 food items), and asked to choose which of the two items they prefer to consume at the end of the experiment."
