This study investigated whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) can alter thinking process and neural basis of creativity. Participants' performance on compound remote associates (CRA) task was analyzed considering semantic features each trial after receiving different tDCS protocols (left cathodal right anodal, L + R−; left L−R+; Sham). Moreover, we constructed compared 80 prediction models CRA for group based task-related functional connectivity. Results showed that R− improved in semantically bundled trials, while L−R+ enhanced trials with greater distance. Furthermore, alpha-band connectivity lateralization than other two groups. These findings suggest bilateral IFG alters cognitive processes during creative ideation rather enhancing or impairing an established process.
