Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference in event related potentials (obtained with the use of EEG) in response to different food cues (odour/picture; sweet/savoury; high/low energy dense), as well as the difference in ERP before and after sensory specific food intake. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Δ Appetite, measured at two time-points (before and after eating a product) on a visual analogue scale, and the correlation between these differences and differences in ERP responses. | — |
