This research study is investigating how the brain represents and imagines the body in people with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Researchers will ask participants to complete tasks that involve mentally imagining body movements and actions—without actually moving—to explore how people with eating disorders perceive and think about their bodies differently than people without eating disorders.
People with eating disorders often have a distorted view of their bodies, but researchers don't fully understand how this happens at the brain level. This study aims to uncover whether the way people with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa mentally imagine their bodies is fundamentally different, which could help develop better treatments.
