THETA-Rhythm makes the world go round: Dissociative effects of TMS theta vs alpha entrainment of right pTPJ on embodied perspective transformations

Abstract

Introduction Introduction Materials and Methods Results and Discussion References Being able to imagine another persons experience and perspective of the world is a crucial human social ability (Call & Tomasello, 1999) and recent reports suggest that humans \"embody\" anothers viewpoint by mentally rotating their own body representation into the others orientation (Kessler, Cao, OShea, & Wang, 2014; Kessler & Rutherford, 2010; Kessler & Thomson, 2010; Surtees, Apperly, & Samson, 2013). Using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) our group recently reported in Cortex that brain oscillations at theta frequency (3-7 Hz), originating from the right posterior temporo-parietal-junction (pTPJ) reflected cognitive as well as embod ...
