Many of the important decisions in our lives concern not only ourself but also have to take into account other people. Such social influences on choice have been proposed to rely on specialised networks of brain regions in prefrontal and temporo-parietal cortex. However, most of the evidence for these theories comes from purely correlational neuroimaging studies, leaving it unclear whether the activated brain areas are indeed specifically and causally necessary for the social aspects of decision-making. In my talk, I will present recent studies in which we combined brain stimulation techniques (TMS and tDCS) with fMRI, to demonstrate that neural processes in distinct lateral prefrontal and temporo-parietal areas are biological prerequisites for fair, honest, and strategic social behaviour.
