DEVICE

tDCS

anodal tDCS will be delivered with a constant current of 1 mA during resting-state and task-related fMRI and will continue until the end of the word-generation task. For both stimulation conditions (atDCS, sham) the current will be initially increased in a ramp-like fashion over 10 s, eliciting a tingling sensation on the scalp that fades over seconds. During sham stimulation the current will be turned off after 30 s.
