The brain uses a lot of energy, especially when it has to remember 7 numbers, so of course participants in the study would choose the calorie rich choice. It's basic survival.

So maybe this experiment does not demonstrate correlation between brain activity and junk food but brain activity and the desire for chocolate. I’m not surprised at all by this number trick.
