“…Despite the apparent asymmetry in people's subjective responses to gains and losses (Yechiam & Hochman, 2013), the speci c differences in the allocation of attention to gains and losses remains open to discussion. For example, Paschke (Paschke et al, 2015) found that attention to monetary rewards/losses depended on different mechanisms (Jiang et al, 2021;Barbaro et al, 2017;Schmidt et al, 2015). In sum, the literature provides convincing evidence that the context (gain/loss) in uences attention allocation; however, there is a clear lack of clarity regarding brain responses to and effects on decision processing in third-party contexts of gain/loss situations and differences in fairness, especially with regard to cognitive perceptions of loss.…”

Social norms and altruistic punitive behaviours are both based on the integration of information from multiple contexts. Individual behavioural performance can be altered by loss and gain contexts, which produce different mental states and subjective perceptions. In this study, we used event-related potential and time-frequency techniques to examine performance on a third-party punishment task and to explore the neural mechanisms underlying context-dependent differences in punishment decisions. The results indicated that individuals were more likely to reject unfairness in the context of loss (vs. gain) and to increase punishment as unfairness increased. In contrast, fairness appeared to cause an early increase in cognitive control signal enhancement, as indicated by the P2 amplitude and theta oscillations, and a later increase in emotional and motivational salience during decision-making in gain vs. loss contexts, as indicated by the medial frontal negativity and beta oscillations. In summary, individuals were more willing to sanction violations of social norms in the loss context than in the gain context and rejecting unfair losses induced more equity-related cognitive con ict than accepting unfair gains, highlighting the importance of context (i.e., gain vs. loss) in equity-related social decision-making processes.

“…Hence, we adapted modified version of the IGT which was conducted during electroencephalograph (EEG) to obtain a thorough understanding of the neural basis of decision-making. Event-related potential (ERP) and event-related spectral power were adopted to measure the electrophysiological characteristics during IGT [ 40 , 41 ]. Previous ERP studies viewed P300 as a typical indicator to reflect rewarding processing in decision-making under uncertainty [ 42 ].…”

High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Decision-Making Ability: A Study Based on EEG

High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) has been shown to modulate decision-making; however, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. To further explore the neurophysiological processes of decision-making modulated by HD-tDCS, health participants underwent ten anodal (n = 16)/sham (n = 17) HD-tDCS sessions targeting the left DLPFC. Iowa gambling task was performed simultaneously with electroencephalography (EEG) before and after HD-tDCS. Iowa gambling task performance, the P300 amplitude, and the power of theta oscillation as an index of decision-making were compared. Behavioral changes were found that showed anodal HD-tDCS could improve the decision-making function, in which participants could make more advantageous choices. The electrophysiological results showed that the P300 amplitude significantly increased in CZ, CPZ electrode placement site and theta oscillation power significantly activated in FCZ, CZ electrode placement site after anodal HD-tDCS. Significant positive correlations were observed between the changes in the percent use of negative feedback and the changes in theta oscillation power before and after anodal HD-tDCS. This study showed that HD-tDCS is a promising technology in improving decision-making and theta oscillation induced by may be a predictor of improved decision-making.
