We are using CANTAB, a computerized test, to study cognitive processes. This study involves coming in for one session that may last up to an hour and 15 minutes, but typically is complete within an hour.

To volunteer in this study you will need to be an adult native English speaker, a non-smoker, and have a BMI of 30 or higher - see information on how to calculate your BMI.
