DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Subjects will undergo tDCS stimulation. For both active and sham stimulation we will use electrodes at 35cm\^2, with an intensity of 2mA. The anodal electrode will be placed over the primary motor cortex, and the cathode will be placed over the contralateral supraorbital area. For active stimulation, the current will be active for the duration of 20 minutes. For sham stimulation, the current will only be active for 30 seconds, simulating the sensations of active stimulation.
