This study is looking into how people with anorexia nervosa (AN) experience "gut sensations" and if these sensations are linked to the challenges of the disorder. Researchers are using a special device called a Vibrant capsule, which delivers mechanical vibrations, to understand these sensations better. The study aims to enroll 150 women between 15 and 40 years old. To join, you need to have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5 or higher, be able to walk on your own, have a smartphone with a data plan, and speak English. For women of childbearing age, specific birth control methods are required. The main goals are to measure how accurately you sense internal body signals (interoceptive precision), your existing beliefs about these sensations (interoceptive prior), and how you learn about them (learning rate) at the start of the study. The current recruitment status is unclear.
