Mobile phone short video use negatively impacts attention functions: an EEG study
T. Yan, C. Su, et al.
Short-form videos are woven into daily life but may harm attention and self-control. In a study of 48 young adults using the Attention Network Test and EEG, research conducted by Tingting Yan, Conghui Su, Weichen Xue, Yuzheng Hu, and Hui Zhou found higher mobile short-video addiction scores were linked to reduced prefrontal theta power during executive control and to poorer self-control, highlighting neural mechanisms behind attentional decline and the need for interventions.
