DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Three different stimulation montages will be programmed: right, left and sham. During the Ramp periods, 2 mA current will be delivered to both AF3 and AF4 with an ascending (RampUp) and descending ramp (RampDown) over 30 sec via two saline soaked electrode sponges (\~ 25cm²; current density = 0.08 mA/cm²). In this way, all subjects experience the same sensation on both sides to blind them to condition. During the Constant period, current will be set based on the Condition: Right - 2mA AF4 anode-AF3 cathode; Left - 2mA applied to AF3 anode-AF4 cathode; Sham - current turned off.
