Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Difference in brain response between likers and dislikers for the target food stimulus (fMRI)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcome measures are: 1. Difference in brain response for the target stimulus and neutral control stimulus 2. Difference in brain response for the target stimulus and the universally liked and disliked stimuli 3. Difference in experienced pleasantness for the target stimulus between likers and dislikers 4. Difference in experienced pleasantness between the target stimulus and the universally liked and disliked stimuli 5. Difference in experienced desirability for the target stimulus between likers and dislikers 6. Difference in experienced desirability between the target stimulus and the universally liked and disliked stimuli 7. Difference in experienced intensity for the target stimulus between likers and dislikers 8. Difference in experienced intensity between the target stimulus and the universally liked and disliked stimuli 9. Difference in sensitivity to the basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter) between likers and dislikers 10. Correlations between differences in brain responses and differences in ratings of experienced pleasure, desirability, and intensity
