Neuroconn or Neuroelectric tDCS stimulator
Stimulation parameters were chosen in conformity with those for the treatment of schizophrenic symptoms (Brunelin et al, 2012), adapted according to the latest data from the literature and the tDCS operating stimulator. The experimental tDCS group will receive the ACTIVE stimulation with the following parameters: oscillatory Direct Current with high frequency random noise stimulation (hf-tRNS - 100 to 500 Hz), Intensity = 2 mA, offset = + 1 mA, seance duration = 20 minutes ramp up/ramp down 30 seconds. Total number of sessions = 10 (sessions twice daily for 5 days separated by at least 2 hours for 5 consecutive weekdays).
Sham tDCS
The control group will receive the SHAM stimulation (placebo) following the same regimen (i.e., twice daily sessions separated by at least 2 hours for 5 consecutive weekdays). Sham stimulation consists of a 20 minutes session including 40 seconds of active stimulation (same parameters as in the ACTIVE arm) at the beginning of the sessions, whatever the stimulator
