DEVICE

Anodal transcranial direct-current-stimulation

2mA / 20min Anodal and Sham tDCS over dominant M1. Anodal tDCS consists of 30s of ramp up followed by 20min of stimulation and 30s of ramp down.

DEVICE

Sham transcranial direct-current-stimulation

"Sham tDCS consists of only 30s of ramp up followed by 30s of ramp down and no further stimulation.~Participants therefore have the same feeling for both modalities : slight itching due to the induced current at the beginning of the protocol (during around 30s) allowing no differentiation by the participant between the anodal or sham sessions."
