Anodal tDCS of rTPJ Improves On-Line Control of Self-Other Representations
(A) Control of imitation. This task examined the ability to distinguish and control motor representations evoked by the self and the other. Improved performance after anodal stimulation (in comparison to cathodal and sham stimulation) is indexed by a reduced tendency to imitate.
(B) Perspective taking. This task required participants to take another’s perspective and inhibit their own (see Figure S1). Anodal stimulation resulted in more accurate performance.
(C) Self-referential. This task examined participants’ ability to attribute mental states to the self or another individual. Unlike the tasks that required on-line control of self-other representations (control of imitation and perspective taking), no effect of rTPJ stimulation was found on mental state attribution (self-referential task).
Error bars represent the SEM. See also Figure S1.
