In recent years there has been an exponential rise in the number of studies employing
transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a means of gaining a systems-level …

Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (c-tDCS) is usually considered an inhibitory
stimulation. From a physiological perspective, c-tDCS induces hyperpolarization at the …

Aesthetic appreciation is part of our everyday life: it is a subjective judgment we make when
looking at a painting, a landscape, or—in fact—at another person. Neuroimaging and …

Currently influential models of working memory posit that memory content is highly
accessible to conscious inspection. These models predict that metacognition of memory …

There is a need to facilitate acquisition of real world cognitive multi-tasks that require long
periods of training (eg, air traffic control, intelligence analysis, medicine). Non-invasive brain …

Visual localization is based on the complex interplay of bottom-up and top-down processing.
Based on previous work, the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is assumed to play an essential …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique
that can modulate cortical excitability. Although the clinical value of tDCS has been …

In recent years tDCS has been used to modulate attention, including the search for novel
therapeutic options in brain-lesioned patients suffering from neglect. Although limited in …

This thesis aimed to investigate self-other processes in social cognition. Contrary to the
traditional approach of focusing on self-other processes within the confines of a single …

Selective visual attention, ie, focusing on relevant while ignoring irrelevant stimuli, is a key
capacity of the human brain. Endogenous control and spatial distribution of selective …
