Summary
Decisions are part of the daily life. On the neuronal level, activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is important during complex decisions (e.g., whether something is emotional for a person or not). We apply transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with the aim to increase dlPFC activity and thereby modulate decisions towards emotional content.
