The brain electric activity and interactions between hemispheres at formation of internet dependence

Studied the brain electrical activity and hemispheric interaction among Internet addicts and Internet independent persons. In Internet addicts during quiet wakefulness revealed a significant disruption of EEG wave activity. In the resting state present low amplitude, irregular alpha rhythm with a predominance of low index sharp waves, mainly in the left prefrontal region. EEG Internet-dependent characteristic of the displacement of spectral amplitude characteristics in the predominance of delta, teta and fast beta waves. Localization of slow-wave activity in the left hemisphere of Internet addicts in a state of rest, the presence of beta activity with a high severity index beta2- subband in the right hemisphere shows hemispheric brain activation. Unstable functional state of the brain Inter- net-dependent reduction is also seen in response to the active functional assays.
