About

Aiming at the major problems of unclear brain mechanism of gaming disorder and lack of effective assessment intervention tools, this project started by exploring the brain mechanism of abnormal interpersonal interaction and cognitive control deficit promoting and accelerating the development of gaming disorder, adopted a prospective cohort study design, combined with multi-modal brain functional imaging, cognitive function, social psychological assessment, and other means. To clarify the brain mechanism and outcome of gaming disorder. Based on the preliminary stage, for high-risk groups, risky gaming behavior, gaming disorder layout hierarchical multidimensional assessment intervention system, using science education, brief intervention, social psychological intervention, neural regulation, cognitive rehabilitation training, mobile medical treatment, and other ways, stratification and stage, early identification, prevention and treatment combination, accurate intervention to comprehensively reduce the occurrence and development of gaming disorder.

Active Comparator group

Description:

Device: Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation In recent years, transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has been widely used to regulate brain neural activity and improve cognitive function because of its non-invasive, portable, and easy-to-operate characteristics. tACS can effectively improve 9 cognitive functions, including visual attention, working memory, long-term memory, executive control, fluid intelligence, learning, decision-making, motor learning, and motor memory
