Translational Neuroscience: Responsivity Training for Obesity Treatment
This was a subaward with Stanford University
Obesity causes 300,000 US deaths yearly, but most treatments do not result in lasting weight loss. The ORI Eating Disorders Team developed a computer-based program to train the brain's reward region to decrease its response to images and intake of high-caloric foods.
This computer-based response training intervention is designed to increase body fat loss in overweight individuals and can be easily implemented very broadly at almost no expense.
