How food and alcohol cues leave different signatures in the brain

Food and alcohol cues appear to engage partially distinct EEG oscillatory patterns, with food cues linked mainly to increased delta activity and alcohol-related processing showing alpha and delta differences in key contrasts. The effects were strongest in participants with relatively higher AUDIT scores, but neural changes were small and subjective cue responses were more robust.
