Food cravings are an important precursor to binge eating, a risk factor for both obesity and bulimia nervosa. Like many other Western countries, Australia has recently seen an alarming rise in these disorders. This project aims to investigate the imagery basis of food craving and develop effective techniques for its reduction. It has clear potential benefit for Australian national health and well-being, consistent with National Research Priority No. 2, "Promoting and Maintaining Good Health." The research will clearly contribute to the international profile of Australian social science and provide valuable research training for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

对食物的渴望是暴饮暴食的重要前兆，暴饮暴食是肥胖和神经性暴食症的风险因素。与许多其他西方国家一样，澳大利亚最近看到了这些疾病令人震惊的上升。该项目旨在研究食物渴望的表象基础，并开发有效的减少食物渴望的技术。它对澳大利亚国民的健康和福祉具有明显的潜在好处，这与国家研究优先事项2：促进和保持良好健康是一致的。这项研究显然将有助于澳大利亚社会科学的国际形象，并为本科生和研究生提供有价值的研究培训。
