Interventions
DEVICE

Noninvasive cortical electrical stimulation

Subjects will receive 22 sessions of the intervention protocol, twice per week for a total of 11 weeks. The signal stimulation used in this study utilizes amplitude modulation to shape a high frequency carrier signal, nominally greater than 10 kilohertz, into the form of one or more low frequency components, nominally less than 40 hertz. Exact protocol is set in software and is the same for all participants in the active treatment arm.

DEVICE

Sham treatment

Subjects in the placebo group will receive the exact same experience as those in the active treatment group. However, the device will not output any electrical stimulation signal.
