DEVICE

Active-tDCS

Active-tDCS over 10 sessions in 2 weeks (once per day, for 10 consecutive working days), while performing the executive function training tasks. Also, participants will complete an online cognitive training program while they receive active tDCS stimulation for 10 training sessions. The training session will last for 20 minutes and the online cognitive training program is comprised of 5 exercises targeting at information processing speed and executive function capacities. Each exercise lasts for approximately 4 minutes, totaling approximately 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Sham-tDCS

Sham-tDCS stimulation over 10 sessions in 2 weeks (once per day, for 10 consecutive working days), while performing the executive function training tasks. Also, participants will complete an online cognitive training program while they receive sham-tDCS stimulation for 10 training sessions. The training session will last for 20 minutes and the online cognitive training program is comprised of 5 exercises targeting at information processing speed and executive function capacities. Each exercise lasts for approximately 4 minutes, totaling approximately 20 minutes.
