Based in part on new experimental tasks, FoodBrain works to train your brain to prefer healthy eating choices by playing brain training games. It is a marriage of brain training and learning techniques to help train your automatic and conscious brain to prefer healthier food choices. We utilize techniques such as impulse control tasks, cognitive bias modification, conditioning, self-monitoring, and rote learning in the form of brain challenging games.

Some researchers have published studies reporting that people have lost weight using just one of these techniques. We have utilized a large variety of techniques in this app. No scientific research has yet been conducted with our particular implementation, but you can monitor your weight and food cravings to decide for yourself whether it works for you. If nothing else, you can have fun playing the games and challenging your brain. We hope to conduct research and become leaders in a new approach to behavior change that is both enjoyable and helpful. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
