*3.1. Participant Demographics*

Participant demographics are summarized in Table 1. Participant sexes were similarly distributed across participant groups, χ<sup>2</sup> (df = 2) = 0.49, *p* = 0.78. Groups differed as intended in terms of BMI (post hoc: OB-BED = OB > CO), *F*(2, 128) = 125.05, *p* < 0.001, *η*<sup>2</sup> = 0.66, and were similar in age, *F*(2, 128) = 3.02, *p* > 0.05.

**Table 1.** Demographic information as a function of participant group.


*n* = number of participants; m = male; f = female; BMI = body mass index; CO = control; OB = obese; OB-BED = obese with co-morbid Binge Eating Disorder. Values report mean ± standard deviation.
