DEVICE

transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Direct currents were transferred via a pair of carbonated-silicone electrodes (35 cm2) with a thick layer of high conductive gel for EEG underneath them. The electric current will be delivered by an electric stimulator. To stimulate the left DLPFC, the cathode electrode was placed over F3 according to the 10-20 international system while the anode was placed over the contralateral F4 region. The currents flowed continuously for 20 minutes with an intensity of 2 milliamperes.
