The brain imaging "SPICE" study will focus on eating behaviours, and will involve two visits to Addenbrooke's Hospital.
The first visit will be a 'Screening Visit' and will take approximately two hours, all travel expenses will be paid.
This will involve blood tests, and questions about health history.

Questionnaires, computer tasks, two MRI scans and more blood sampling will take place during this second visit.
