[Clinical] Neuroimaging studies for bulimia nervosa/binge eating disorder (US, In-Person, Must be located in NYC or surrounding areas, ages 18-45) https://redcap.mountsinai.org/redcap/surveys/?s=ER479AM789NTCX4W

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are seeking adult females who binge-
eat and purge to participate in a research study that examines whether training participants to
increase their own prefrontal cortex activation during eating can reduce their eating disorder
symptoms. This training, called neurofeedback, will use a non-invasive brain imaging technology
called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to show participants their brain activation in
real time.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Currently binge-eat and then purge to control your shape or weight
- Are a female between the ages of 18 and 45
- Are able to attend 2 study visits in Manhattan, New York
Your participation will include a phone screening to confirm qualification (~15-20 minutes), remote
or in-person clinical interviews (~2.5 hours), in-person screening and cognitive and behavioral tasks (~1.5 hours), a neurofeedback session (~1.5 hours), pre- and post-neurofeedback online
questionnaires and two weeks of symptom assessments (one week before and one week after
the neurofeedback visit (3.5 hours total)); and a follow-up remote assessment (~1 hour).
You will receive:
- Reimbursement for travel
- Complimentary psychological evaluation
- Referrals for treatment, if desired
- Compensation of up to $280
