Binge eating disorder (BED) is a complex condition in which different clinical aspects and neuropsychological faults have been treated in subjects who have it. In this study, clinical (VC), neuropsychological (VNPS) and psychophysiological (VPFS) variables were compared between healthy participants (n = 15) and with BED (n = 15) evaluated in the medicine school of the Autonomous University of Querétaro. The VC included the evaluation of the food craving scale (FCS), depressive symptomatology (DS), anxiety (AS) and impulsivity. It is used in the Wisconsin Cards Sorting Test for Cognitive Flexibility (CF) and the Stop Signal Task for Inhibitory Control (IC) within the VNPS; In the VPFS, the heart rate variability (HRV) was obtained during an exposure test to food images. The results showed that the participants obtained high scores in the evaluation instruments for FCS (p < .0001), SD (p < .0001) and SA (p < .0001); whereas in the VNPS it failed in the FC with an increase in the percentage of total errors (p = .01), perseverative errors (p = .03) and CI (p = .004). For the VPFS, a reduction in HRV (p < .0001) was found in those participants with AT.
