The development and testing of the TTU food cue reactivity image bank.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Measuring food cue reactivity (FCR) is essential to understanding human ingestion in behavioral and neuroimaging studies. An image bank that can delineate the truly food-specific FCR response from spurious noise driven primarily by incidental characteristics (e.g., visual properties) of images is a useful addition to the literature. This study sought to develop and test the performance of the TTU Food Cue Reactivity Image Bank that matched 252 image pairs on visual characteristics (i.e., shape, color, visual complexity, and size), and to establish the appeal ratings of the images for use in future applications.

Subjects/methods

The TTU Food Cue Reactivity Image Bank was initially created, and subsequently evaluated by independent raters. Then, 151 indiv
