abstract = {Visual recognition of objects may rely on different
features depending on the category to which they belong.
Recognizing natural objects, such as fruits and plants,
weighs more on their perceptual attributes, whereas
recognizing man-made objects, such as tools or vehicles,
weighs more upon the functions and actions they enable.
Edible objects are perceptually rich but also prepared for
specific functions, therefore it is unclear how perceptual
and functional attributes affect their recognition.Two
event-related potentials experiments investigated: (i)
whether food categorization in the brain is differentially
modulated by sensory and functional attributes, depending on
whether the food is natural or transformed; (ii) whether
these processes are modulated by participants’ body mass
index. In experiment 1, healthy normal-weight participants
were presented with a sentence (prime) and a photograph of a
food. Primes described either a sensory feature (‘It
tastes sweet’) or a functional feature (‘It is suitable
for a wedding party’) of the food, while photographs
depicted either a natural (e.g., cherry) or a transformed
food (e.g., pizza). Prime-feature pairs were either
congruent or incongruent. This design aimed at modulating
N400-like components elicited by semantic processing. In
experiment 1, N400-like amplitude was significantly larger
for transformed food than for natural food with sensory
primes, and vice versa with functional primes. In experiment
2, underweight and obese women performed the same semantic
task. We found that, while the N400-like component in obese
participants was modulated by sensory-functional primes only
for transformed food, the same modulation was found in
underweight participants only for natural food. These
findings suggest that the level of food transformation
interacts with participants’ body mass index in modulating
food perception and the underlying brain processing.},
