Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to clarify the impact of social isolation on human appetite and its neural mechanisms by using brain imaging technology. Healthy participants will view food images while their appetite is assessed, and brain activity will be measured using magnetoencephalography (MEG).

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) data, social isolation-related indicators (Japanese version of the Lubben Social Network Scale short version (LSNS-6), Japanese version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3): UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Key secondary outcomes

Survey on daily appetite and eating behavior (Three Factor Eating Questionnaire: TFEQ), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Japanese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Japanese version of the Salzburg Stress Eating Scale (SSES-J).
