Enhancing Creative Cognition with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
Abstract
Neuroimaging research has found that creative cognition is associated with activity and connectivity within the executive control network (ECN) and default mode network (DMN). We used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on regions of the ECN and DMN to determine the causal roles of these networks in creative idea generation and evaluation in a fully double-blind, between-subjects study design. 89 participants have thus far participated in 1 of 6 stimulation conditions. We intend to present a brief study procedure, the exploratory analyses used to test the effects of stimulation on other creativity-related tasks, and the overall results of the study.
