Abstract
Asymmetrical frontal brain activation has been associated with approach and avoidance behaviors. EEG brain activity was recorded from eight homologous frontal sites while participants viewed a violent videogame. Analysis revealed a correlation between increased activity at Fp1 and video game addiction (rho = .675, p = .004).
