The Impact of Transcranial Photobiomodulation on the Bilateral Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Enhancing Convergent Thinking and Stroop Test
Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has been employed for cognitive enhancement in healthy individuals. This study aimed to investigate the effects of tPBM applied bilaterally over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on convergent thinking (CT), divergent thinking (DT), and the Stroop test. Additionally, we explored whether Stroop performance mediates the effect of tPBM on creativity. In this double‐blind, between‐subjects study, 56 hea…
Effects of Combined tDCS-tRNS Over the Left Prefrontal Cortex on Convergent Thinking After 24 Hours
This study aimed to investigate whether combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with the cathode over the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) produce effects on creativity 1-day after being stimulated. In a double-blind, between-subjects design, 54 healthy participants were randomly assigned to either tDCS-tRNS or sham. The tDCS-tR…
Enhancement of Divergent Creative Thinking After Transcranial Near-Infrared Photobiomodulation Over the Default Mode Network
Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has been used for cognitive enhancement in healthy people. However, its effect on creativity has not been investigated. The default mode network (DMN) is associated with divergent thinking (DT; but not convergent thinking, CT), and also with anxiety, which in turn has been negatively related to creativity. We aimed to use tPBM over the DMN to assess the effect on DT compared to sham. Additionally, we assesse…
Enhancing Creativity With Combined Transcranial Direct Current and Random Noise Stimulation of the Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Creativity is a fundamental human accomplishment from scientific advances to composing music. The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) are important metacontrol hubs in flexibility and persistence brain states, respectively. Those hubs are related to divergent thinking, insight problem‐solving, and convergent thinking. In this double‐blind, between‐subjects study, 81 healthy participants were randomly assig…
