Smartphone Use Revealed Beta-Burst Cortical Inhibition During Touches
An iScience EEG study found that approximately 80 minutes of natural smartphone use was interleaved with transient beta bursts, especially over bilateral sensorimotor cortex, and touchscreen intervals became longer when sensorimotor bursts were present.1 Research Highlights Natural smartphone behavior carried beta bursts: participants used smartphones with the right thumb for approximately 80 minutes while EEG …
