Flow diagram of study procedure. At baseline, fMRI images were acquired from both the HC and IA groups. Based on informative FCDs, the SVC model was applied to the identification of individuals with IA. After 8-week CBT sessions, individuals with IA were rescanned for fMRI data. The change in informative FCDs was used to evaluate symptom improvement by the SVR model. IA, internet addiction; HC, heathy control; SVC, support vector classification; SVR, support vector regression; IAT, Young’s Internet Addiction Test; CBT, cognitive behavior therapy.
