Hold-up problem is very common in non-contractible relation-specific investment transactions. And this problem can affect by trust, cooperation and altruism behavior of human beings. Recent neuroscience researches had explored a network of right temporo-parietal junction (rTPJ) involved in human cooperation and altruism behavior. The purpose of this study is to modulate the activation of rTPJ through transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and to study the influence of rTPJ on investment and offer behavior in hold-up game. The results of our study showed that the anodal stimulation significantly increased participants' offer compared with the cathodal and sham stimulation. A possible explanation is that changes in rTPJ activity induced by anodal stimulation improve the accuracy of agents' mental reasoning and promote cooperation by influencing agents' offer behavior.
拖欠问题在非契约性专用性投资交易中非常常见。而这个问题会受到人类的信任、合作和利他行为的影响。最近的神经科学研究已经探索了涉及人类合作和利他行为的右侧颞顶联合区(rTPJ)网络。本研究旨在通过经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)来调节 rTPJ 的激活，并研究 rTPJ 对拖欠博弈中投资和报价行为的影响。我们的研究结果表明，与阴极和假刺激相比，阳极刺激显著增加了参与者的报价。一种可能的解释是，阳极刺激引起的 rTPJ 活动变化通过影响代理人的报价行为，提高了代理人心理推理的准确性，从而促进了合作。
