Learning new recycling rules through virtual reality
Although environmental concern is widespread, sustainable behaviors often break down when individuals are confronted with new or changing rules. While virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for sustainability interventions, most supporting evidence derives from controlled laboratory settings, leaving its real-world effectiveness largely unexplored. The present field study addresses this gap by testing a VR training intervention in a…
Satiety and food availability modulate the approach and inhibitory responses to food cues in healthy weight participants
The widespread availability of high-calorie foods may disrupt the balance between homeostatic and reward-driven eating behaviors. Cognitive processes like automatic approach tendencies, inhibitory control, and food craving play critical roles in regulating food intake, but the impact of immediate food availability on these processes, and how it interacts with satiety, is unclear. We studied 45 healthy-weight participants using an Approach-Avoidan…
How aging shapes our sense of agency
The sense of agency refers to the feeling of controlling one’s actions and their effects on the external environment. Here, we tested how the physiological process of aging affects the agency experience by taking advantage of a validated ecological experimental paradigm and exploring the different dimensions of agency. We tested 60 young and older adults during active and passive movements, causing, after a variable time delay, an external sensor…
The sense of agency in near and far space
The sense of agency is the ability to recognize that we are the actors of our actions and their consequences. We explored whether and how spatial cues may modulate the agency experience by manipulating the ecological validity of the experimental setup (real-space or computer-based setup) and the distance of the action-outcome (near or far). We tested 58 healthy adults collecting explicit agency judgments and the perceived time interval between mo…
Trait food craving predicts functional connectivity between dopaminergic midbrain and the fusiform food area during eating imagery
Neurofunctional coupling between the dopaminergic midbrain (i.e., ventral tegmental area, VTA) and higher-order visual regions may contribute to food craving, leading to the onset or maintenance of obesity. We recently showed that the VTA resting-state functional connectivity with the occipitotemporal cortex, at the level of the fusiform gyrus (FFG), was specifically associated with trait food craving and the implicit bias for food images, sugges…
