Modern Day High: The Neurocognitive Impact of Social Media Usage
A. Satani, K. K. Satani, et al.
Explore real-time EEG evidence that 30 minutes of social media use alters brain rhythms—decreased Alpha with emotional content, sustained Beta/Gamma during interaction, and rising Theta/Delta during passive browsing. These findings suggest reward-like engagement and possible digital fatigue. This research was conducted by Abhijeet Satani, Kshma Kheskani Satani, Param Barodia, and Heth Joshi. Listen to the audio to uncover the neurophysiological story behind our scrolling habits.
