Brain Stimulation for Neuroeconomics DOEC0530 Time / Room: Wed 16.15 – 18.00; BLU-003 Instructors: Christian Ruff, Marius Moisa, Rafael Polania E-mail: [email protected] Course description. This course will introduce the non-invasive brain stimulation methods commonly used in neuroeconomic and cognitive neuroscience research. More specifically, the course will introduce transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and other forms of transcranial electric stimulation through a series of lectures and practical demonstrations. We will cover the basic physical principles of each technique, common forms of usage in empirical research, some landmark findings, and safety aspects. The aim of this course is to familiarize the students with these techniques so that they can start planning experiments that employ these techniques to address questions about causal brain- behavior relations.
