Weight loss: Brain training app launch could help with obesity
News from the BBC
Could brain training games help with weight loss? It is a theory researchers in Wales want to test.
Scientist at Cardiff University hope to recruit volunteers for what would be the largest study of its kind ever held.
They are looking for Android smart phone and tablet users to trial their "Restrain" app.
Project leader Chris Chambers said it was "especially important now" due to the ongoing Covid pandemic.
The university's Brain Research Imaging Centre hope to sign up thousands of volunteers, who are overweight or living with obesity.
The new app is designed to be used over small periods of time for three months - with each daily session between 10-15 minutes long.
