Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for the Treatment of Bipolar Depression

For sham tDCS, the device will be turned off after 30 seconds of stimulation.

"For active tDCS, we will place the anode and the cathode over the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex areas, respectively (corresponding to F3 and F4 according to the EEG 10-20 system). We will use 5x5 cm electrodes and a 2mA current for 30 minutes per day. This montage is known as bifrontal setup and has been previously used in major depression trials"
