Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the anticipation of food reward induced by visual cues related to different foodcharacteristics in healthy males would provide 1) brain activity patterns that can be associated with the anticipation of…
To compare postprandial plasma amino acid concentrations over time after ingestion of a fixed amount of protein from different dairy products in healthy adults.
The current study investigates whether the ASPI-score is sensitive to context in which the ASPI is administered. Because the ASPI was designed to measure the capacity to experience sexual pleasure, it is expected that the ASPI score will not vary…
Primary aim: To determine the effects of oro-sensory exposure stimulation through mastication duration and sweetness intensity on the endocrine and metabolic cephalic phase responses.Secundary aim: To determine whether the magnitude of cephalic…
To validate the PMD 200 NoL device
To investigate whether perturbation of the left middle temporal gyrus results in immediate adaptation in the right hemisphere, indexed by a shift of alpha-beta oscillatory effects from the left to the right hemisphere.
The main objective of this study is to find if there is a measurable improvement of transfemoral amputees standing up with the active knee support prosthesis (ERK) in comparison to standing up without active knee support.
We aim to investigate the relation between cortical excitability, GABA concentration and plasticity in the human motor cortex. We plan to modulate the functional integrity the primary motor cortex by using well-known repetitive transcranial magnetic…
The objective of this study is to assess whether oral exposure to beer and non-alcoholic beer elicits similar reward responses in the brain in a setting where only beer is expected. This knowledge will give fundamental insight in whether alcohol is…
To this end, two study protocols have been developed, one concerning the *target group* of overweight children (aged 12-16), only including non-invasive measurements, and one targeting adult overweight participants (aged 18-45), allowing for…
The Food4Me study aims to demonstrate the validity of delivering personalised nutrition advice at varying levels in a cohort across 7 EU states:The objective is to challenge the current view that personalised nutrition has to be rooted solely in…
Study 1To determine if and to what extent it is possible to manipulate physiological stress responses (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and electrodermal response) using our developed set-up. To this end we will look at the…
The main objective is to gain insight into the temporal differences between the perceived sweetness and irritation of carbonated beverages with sucrose and/or Stevia. More specifically, objectives of part 1 of the study are:- To assess the overall…
Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the intensity and pleasantness coding of flavours in healthy volunteers would provide 1) dissociation of the brain activity patterns related to flavour intensity and pleasantness and 2) insight into how…
This study aims to investigate the effects of a behavioral intervention which is aimed at the improvementenhancing of parental sensitivity and sensitive disciplinary techniques to on the development of children*s social competence and behavioral…
To elucidate the changes in the timing of sleep and waking, sleep quality and endogenous circadian phase in different chronotypes (e.g. *owls* vs. *larks*) with different amounts of social jetlag shielded from short wavelength (blue) light in the…
The primary objective is to investigate the effect of training on a neurofeedback task targeting the DLPFC, on the frontostriatal network. As a secondary objective, we investigate whether such training changes mental effort.
The main objective of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of the functioning of the human brain regarding the temporal evolution of the brain activity associated with taste, specifically about taste acceptance. In order to do so, we will…
Overall objective:The overall objective is to test the hypothesis that GLP-1 receptor activation of CNS reward and satiety circuits occurs, in the context of food(-related) stimuli, and that this effect is altered in individuals with obesity and…
To understand more of the learning principles of vegetable consumption in young children (2-4 years). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of flavour nutrient learning on vegetable preference and intake. Primary Objective: To…
