Study Background
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is investigating how the brain responds differently to food reward cues and how this relates to eating.
For this study, our researchers are partnering with individuals in two groups: daily smokers (who smoke cigarettes every day) and nonsmokers (who do not smoke cigarettes). Over the course of the study, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires, have an EEG brain scan, and complete an easy task.
