Scientists have discovered how to make people less selfish - slightly and temporarily - by stimulating two areas of the brain.

Researchers noted that they did not directly record brain activity during the experiment, so they can’t draw a direct cause-and-effect link between the stimulation and altruism. Future studies should ...

While participants made these choices, the research team applied transcranial alternating current stimulation to the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. This non-invasive stimulation was designed ...

A lab study found that gamma brain stimulation slightly increased altruistic choices. Here’s what researchers discovered—and ...
