Abstract
Internet addiction -IA- refers to the excessive and uncontrollable use of the Internet. It leads to serious psychological, social, educational, occupational and economic problems for individuals. Some of the current journal articles demonstrate that IA’s mechanism is similar to that of drug and behavioral addiction and cause dysfunction of inhibitory control -IC- in brain. Prior research has shown that transcranial Direct Current Stimulation -tDCS- can improve the IC in brain, treatment of drug addiction, and behavioral disorders. Accordingly, we study here the impact of tDCS as a noninvasive brain electrical stimulation on internet addiction.
