Numerous studies have highlighted the role ofthe right Inferior Frontal Gyrus (rIFG) - a key component of the inhibitory network- in negation processing. Social avoidance can be linguistically portrayed usingattitudinal verbs such as “exclude” vs. “include”, which inherently carry negativeconnotations. Consequently, we hypothesize that the interplay between explicitnegation and the implicit negativity of avoidance verbs can be modulated viatranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the rIFG.
