DEVICE

Anodal tDCS on DLPFC

Participants will receive anodal tDCS on the left DLPFC for 30 min duration, cathode will be placed over the right supra orbital area. The electrodes are 25cm², The stimulation current is 2 milliamperes (2mA).

DEVICE

Anodal tDCS on M1

Participants will receive anodal tDCS on the left M1 for 30 min duration, cathode will be placed over the right supra orbital area. The electrodes are 25cm², The stimulation current is 2 milliamperes (2mA).

DEVICE

Sham tDCS

Participants will receive sham tDCS. The anode will be placed on the left DLPFC and the cathode on the over the right supra orbital area. The electrodes are 25cm², There will be a ram up and down of 30 seconds each, after the ramp up the current will be turned off.
