Summary:We review several new and emerging methods of non-invasive neuromodulation and consider their potential to enhance creative cognition. This review covers the following techniques: transcranial electric stimulation (tES) (which includes transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS), and neurofeedback training (NFT). For each technique, we explain the basic mechanism of action, review relevant research demonstrating its ability to enhance creative cognition, consider limitations and advantages, and suggest future research directions. Lastly, we offer broader conclusions and recommendations for the field of creativity neuromodulation.
