Interventions
DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation

In tDCS, the prefrontal cortex is stimulated during 20minutes through a weak constant electric current (1-2 mA) through two electrodes in a non-invasive and painless manner.

DEVICE

Sham tDCS

S-tDCS refers to a control condition in which the subject will receive a brief current in the beginning in order to induce a similar sensation on the scalp as in tDCS, and then the stimulator remains off for the rest of the stimulation time.
