Scientists improve people’s creativity through electrical brain stimulation

“Scientists have found a way to improve creativity through brain stimulation, according to researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and Goldsmiths University of London.”

By providing tDCS to left Dorsal Lateral PreFrontal Cortex (DLPFC), researchers showed that participants in the trial showed an increased ability to ‘think outside the box’.  

The results are published in the journal Scientific Reports and more can be read about the experiment here:
