Stanford neurosurgeon Dr. Casey Halpern's laboratory research demonstrates that severe binge-eating patients cannot control their eating behavior even when fully aware they are being studied through one-way mirrors with eye-trackers, proving that awareness alone is insufficient to stop binge eating and that the behavior has a neurological basis beyond conscious control.

Scientists Provoke a Binge in the Lab. They Still Can't Stop.Added:
So, the psychiatrist comes in and provokes Yes. a feeling that can evoke the negative behavior.
>> That's exactly right. So, that we can video and synchronize the video to the brain signal recordings. The patients all wear an eye tracker, so we can see what they're eating at all times and what they're looking at specifically.
And that allows us to have the best temporal resolution possible to understand what is happening right before the bite. And even under video surveillance through a one-day one-way mirror in a laboratory setting when patients are very well aware that they're there to be studied if they're going to binge, they still do. And we believe they do because they just can't control it as aware as they are of it.
