We'll perform a gaze induction intervention for perceptual body image distortion (difficulty in estimating one's own body size accurately), which is one of the body image disturbances. In the intervention group, participants will be instructed to look at whole body evenly, and then judge if the silhouette image is more overweight than themselves. In the control group, participants will be instructed to look at a particular body part, and then judge if the silhouette image is more overweight than themselves.
We'll perform a mirror exposure intervention for affective-evaluative body image dissatisfaction (feeling of overweight due to dissatisfaction toward one's own body), which is one of the body image disturbances. In the intervention group, participants will look at their body in the mirror, and then objectively describe a particular body part. In the control group, participants will imagine a particular body part and objectively describe about it.

Participants who reduced perceptual disturbance exhibited an activation increase in visual processing brain regions. On the other hand, participants who reduced affective disturbance exhibited an activation changes in socio-cognitive processing regions.

Thirty-two non-clinical women were recruited from the undergraduate or graduate school of Tohoku University (n = 28) or the nearby general population (n = 4). We excluded males as well as individuals who were left-handed, aged< 20 or > 35 years, pregnant, or following weight-loss plans. Individuals with a history of psychiatric disorders, claustrophobia, or metal implants were also excluded from the study. The history of psychiatric disorders was self-reported rather than physician-assessed. Half of them (n=16) were assigned to the mirror exposure group, and the others were assigned to the imagery exposure group.
Four participants were excluded from the analysis due to body movements, and 14 participants were assigned to each group.
