Summary
This study looks at why people with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) see their appearance in a distorted way. Researchers will use brain scans, eye-tracking, and emotion measurements in 146 adults aged 18-40 with BDD to understand these perceptual problems. The goal is to build a model of how the brain, behavior, and emotions contribute to these distortions, which could lead to new retraining therapies.
