Engaging Visual Media Shifts Taste-Related Neural Processing: An fMRI Study on Distracted Eating

Robert Friedmann, Bichr Grii, Esther Jacoby, Ilya Digel, Rea Rodriguez‐Raecke, Rik Sijben

This fMRI study shows that distraction reduces perceived taste intensity and pleasantness without decreasing gustatory cortex activity, suggesting resource redistribution rather than sensory suppression.

Wavelet analysis of dual-fMRI-hyperscanning reveals cooperation and communication dependent effects on inter-brain neuronal coherence.

Rik Sijben, Robert Friedmann, Lucia Hernandez‐Pena, Rea Rodriguez‐Raecke

The paper uses dual-fMRI-hyperscanning and wavelet transform coherence to analyze inter-brain neuronal coherence during social cooperation and competition tasks, showing increased coherence in social interaction and theory of mind networks.
