This study is part of a bigger study called Nudge-it
Nudge-it is a multidisciplinary EU-funded project, involving experts in the neurobiology of motivational behaviour, the neuroscience of reward pathways, the neuroendocrinology of homeostatic regulation of appetite, experimental psychology, functional brain imaging, behavioural economics, and computational modelling.
Our focus is on tools that lead to knowledge that translates into policy. Nudge-it will develop new tools and experimental approaches to support the integration of behavioural and observational studies with neurobiological studies in a way that can lead to advances in consumer and nutrition research, providing the evidence base needed to educate stakeholders and inform policy.
