Interventions
OTHER

bihemispheric transcranial pulsed current stimulation (tPCS)

Two sets of sponge electrodes (one set placed on each side of the head) will be placed on the participant's head. The transcranial electrical stimulator will apply unidirectional, positive pulses of current separated by brief interpulse intervals to the scalp via the sponges for 30 minutes.

OTHER

unihemispheric transcranial pulsed current stimulation (tPCS)

One set of sponge electrodes will be placed on the participant's head. The transcranial electrical stimulator will apply unidirectional, positive pulses of current separated by brief interpulse intervals to the scalp via the sponges for 30 minutes.

OTHER

bihemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

Two sets of sponge electrodes (one set placed on each side of the head) will be placed on the participant's head. The transcranial electrical stimulator will apply continuous, direct current to the scalp via the sponges for 30 minutes.

OTHER

unihemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

One set of sponge electrodes will be placed on the participant's head. The transcranial electrical stimulator will apply continuous, direct current to the scalp via the sponges for 30 minutes.

OTHER

sham-control

Sponge electrodes will be placed on the participant's head. The transcranial electrical stimulator will apply stimulation to the scalp via the sponges for 1-2 minutes. The stimulator will then be turned off.
