Neural responses to kills/deaths in real MOBA games are associated with addiction-related psychological traits and subjective pleasant/unpleasant experiences
This study establishes an ecologically-embedded paradigm that successfully captures real-time neural signatures of valenced in-game events in MOBA games. We offer a novel methodological framework and theoretical perspective for investigating IGD and will inspire further research into the neural mechanisms underlying IGD in naturalistic gaming environments.
