This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new technology called Circadian Reset Technology (CRT) delivered through a virtual reality headset to help people with binge eating disorder. The headset uses light signals to help reset your body's internal clock, which researchers believe may improve sleep quality and reduce the urge to binge eat. The study will compare people who use the headset with active technology to those who use a regular headset without the technology.
Binge eating disorder is a serious condition where people struggle to control eating episodes, and current treatments don't work for everyone. Researchers think that improving sleep and the brain's ability to regulate appetite through this light-based treatment might offer a new way to help people gain control over their eating.

You would visit the research center for screening and baseline tests, including brain imaging. Then for 4 weeks, you would use the virtual reality headset twice daily for 5 minutes each time (spaced about 12–16 hours apart) while sitting comfortably at home. You would also complete brief weekly surveys and daily check-ins about your eating and mood. After the 4 weeks, you would return for final testing, including repeat brain imaging, to see if the treatment helped.
