{"pk":49351,"title":"Applications of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for modulating the Face Inversion Effect (FIE): Reducing and Enhancing Recognition","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We report a large study examining the effects of tDCS on the FIE. Subjects randomly assigned to one of the four tDCS groups and engaged with an old/new recognition task involving upright and inverted faces. 1) Sham tDCS during the study phase and recognition task; 2) Anodal tDCS during the study phase followed by sham tDCS during the recognition task; 3) Anodal tDCS during the study phase followed by cathodal tDCS during the recognition task; 4) Cathodal tDCS during the study phase followed by sham tDCS during the recognition task. Group 2 confirmed that anodal tDCS reduces the FIE vs. sham (Group 1) by disrupting performance for upright faces. Group 3 showed that cathodal tDCS applied after anodal, increased the FIE vs. Group 2, bringing it back to sham level, by enhancing upright faces.  Group 4 revealed that cathodal tDCS applied after sham has no effect on the baseline FIE","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Cognitive Neuroscience; Psychology; Face Processing; Learning; Memory"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0q52d68m","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Ciro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Civile","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Exeter","department":""},{"first_name":"Wang","middle_name":"","last_name":"Guangtong","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Exeter","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2025-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49351/galley/37312/download/"}]}
