A team including plopesresearch published AppetiteCheck at IMWUT (Ubicomp), testing whether vagus nerve stimulation can serve as a low-effort intervention for overeating.
Participants ate 9.6% less and 23.6% slower during stimulation compared to sham. Led by Tangemicioglu with Tanzeem Choudhury, the study offers new empirical evidence for wearable-based health interventions.
