Sponsor's own description
Research on the involvement of the cerebellum in social understanding behavior and the mentalizing brain system has just begun. Knowledge about the neurobiology of social understanding is important for understanding the ways to manipulate these processes. Like cerebral tDCS, cerebellar tDCS could then be used to enhance more complex processes, such as mentalizing, in healthy individuals. It can eventually also be examined as a therapeutic tool for patients with mentalizing difficulties such as patients with ASD. In this study, it is examined whether anodal tDCS at the right posterior cerebellum influences social understanding and which cerebro-cerebellar networks play a role in this process.
