Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter/endpoint is taste activation in response to exposure to different caloric and non-caloric food stimuli.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The 1st secondary study parameter/endpoint is taste activation in response to caloric and non-caloric stimuli during hunger and during satiety. The 2nd secondary study parameter/endpoint is the correlation between taste activation in response to exposure to caloric and non-caloric stimuli and subject characteristics like reward sensitivity and impulsivity.
