Interventions
DEVICE

active tDCS

Using the NeuroConn Plus tDCS device, 2 mA anodal tDCS will be applied to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F4). 15 s fade in and fade out. Total stimulation time of 1365 s. Cathode over contralateral deltoid muscle.

DEVICE

sham tDCS

Sham mode of the NeuroConn Plus tDCS device with 2 mA stimulation for 45 s at the beginning. Anode over right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F4), Cathode over contralateral deltoid muscle. After that, only continuous impedance checking is performed.

BEHAVIORAL

Adaptive working memory training

Adaptive spatial n-back training.
