Dr. Nicolas M Brunet's lab at California State University, San Bernardino focuses on understanding how our brains and bodies respond to food when we feel hungry or full, especially in people with obesity. Using cutting-edge tools like virtual reality and brain imaging, the lab aims to uncover the differences in brain activity and physiological responses between individuals with different weight statuses. This research could lead to better ways to diagnose and treat obesity and eating disorders, providing valuable experiences for undergraduate students in the process.
