The sight and smell of food can have a powerful effect on appetite, but not just that, also appetizing food images can control eating behaviour, for example by causing food craving and influencing food choices. The attention and choice for food-related stimuli, more precisely for food high and low in calories, were examined by recording eye movements via Eye- Tracking Technologies in normal-weight participants. Important aspects were, whether the saturation state has an influence on the choice behaviour on the one hand as well as, on the other hand, whether the food choice is dependent on different eating habits.
