Enhanced creative thinking performance: the role of alpha frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation in the parieto-occipital region
These findings suggest that α-tACS applied to the parieto-occipital cortex, with an inter-session interval of 24 to 48 h, enhances creative thinking performance. This supports the potential of α-tACS as a neuromodulatory technique for facilitating creative cognitive processes.
