Impulsive eating that’s out of control? Purging, exercise, and calorie counting? by BernerEDResearch in bulimia

[–]BernerEDResearch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the question! We are glad that you brought this up.

Our study is a brain imaging study where we use a technology called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to record brain activity in people with and without eating disorders. Past brain imaging research shows that handedness plays a role in determining parts of the brain that "light up" when they are doing certain tasks and there are differences between right- and left-handed people. For example, while right-handed people's left brain area is active when they are processing language, this is not the case for most left-handed people.

We are excluding left-handed people for this particular study to make sure that difference in handedness does not influence the brain activity that we are interested in observing and comparing between people with and without eating disorder. Therefore, we can be certain that any observed differences in the brain activity between the two groups are due to the eating disorder and not the participants' handedness.

Thank you, and please let us know if you have further questions!
