Regulation of Craving in Internet Gamers: Neural Mechanisms and tDCS Intervention

This project aims to investigate (1) the behavioral and neural mechanisms of regulation of craving in Internet gamers; (2) effects of tDCS over the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) on craving and regulation of craving and aversive emotions in this population. (3) effects of tDCS over dlPFC on attentional bias towards gaming related cues.This project will be conducted in Beijing, China, based on a large sample of Internet gamers.

Description détaillée

As with the experiment about tDCS effects on regulation of craving and aversive emotions, the experiment aims to test whether tDCS over dlPFC will enhance cognitive regulation of craving and aversive emotions. It is a within-subject, sham-controlled, double-blind design. Each participant receive both active and sham tDCS of dlPFC in a randomized order separated by one week. During both active and sham tDCS sessions, participants will perform regulation of craving (ROC) and emotion regulation (ER) tasks. In the ROC task, participants will be asked to downregulate and upregulate craving elicited by gaming pictures using cognitive reappraisal. In the ER task, participants will be asked to downregulate and upregulate aversive feelings elicited by negative pictures using cognitive reappraisal. During these tasks, self-report ratings and skin conductance responses (SCRs) will be recorded. The cognitive regulation ability is indexed by rating and SCRs differences between the up- and downregulation conditions.

As with the experiment about tDCS effects on attentional bias, the experiment aims to test whether tDCS over dlPFC will enhance inhibitory control of attentional bias towards gaming related cues. The inhibitory control of attentional bias will be measured by a cognitive task in which participants will perform a number classification task with gaming pictures and non-gaming pictures being distractors. The experiment is a within-subject, sham-controlled, double-blind design. Each participant will receive both active and sham tDCS of dlPFC in a randomized order separated by one week. After each tDCS session, participants will complete the cognitive task assessing inhibitory control of attentional bias. During the task, reaction times (RTs) wil be recorded. The attentional bias is indexed by RTs differences between trials with gaming pictures and trials with non-gaming pictures.

Armes et Interventions

Groupe de participants / Bras
Intervention / Traitement
Expérimental: active tDCS on the dlPFC
tDCS on the DLPFC Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) target will be identified by the baseline functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study for regulation of craving using a separate sample. During the intervention, each participant will receive an active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) intervention on this DLPFC region (1.5 mA for 20 minutes).
Autre: active tDCS on the dlPFC
During active tDCS session, participants will perform the regulation of craving (ROC) and emotion regulation (ER) tasks. In the ROC task, participants will downregulate and upregulate craving elicited by gaming pictures using cognitive reappraisal. In the ER task, participants will downregulate and upregulate aversive feelings by negative pictures using cognitive reappraisal. After the active tDCS session, participants will complete a cognitive task assessing inhibitory control of attentional bias, in which participants will perform a number classification task with gaming pictures and non-gaming pictures being distractors. During the task, reaction times (RTs) wil be recorded.

Comparateur factice: sham tDCS on the dlPFC
Each participant will also receive a sham tDCS intervention as a controlled condition. The sham tDCS only include a 30-s ramp up and a 30-s ramp down.
Autre: sham tDCS on the dlPFC
During the sham tDCS session, participants will perform the regulation of craving (ROC) and emotion regulation (ER) tasks. In the ROC task, participants will downregulate and upregulate craving elicited by gaming pictures using cognitive reappraisal. In the ER task, participants will downregulate and upregulate aversive feelings by negative pictures using cognitive reappraisal. After the sham tDCS session, participants will complete a cognitive task assessing inhibitory control of attentional bias, in which participants will perform a number classification task with gaming pictures and non-gaming pictures being distractors.

Délai
Craving in the regulation of craving (ROC) task after the initiation of active and sham tDCS
Délai: 4 minutes after the initiation of active and sham tDCS for half of the participants
Using the Visual Analog Scale (from 1 = 'not at all' to 9 = 'very much'), craving is assessed in the ROC task. This task lasts 12-13 minutes. Craving in the downregulation condition will be compared between the active and sham tDCS. Craving in the upregulation condition will also be compared between the active and sham tDCS.

Using the Visual Analog Scale (from 1 = 'not at all' to 9 = 'very much'), aversive feeling is assessed in the ER task. This task lasts 12-13 minutes. Aversive feeling in the downregulation condition will be compared between the active and sham tDCS. Aversive feeling in the upregulation condition will also be compared between the active and sham tDCS.
