DEVICE

Active tDCS

tDCS with a constant current intensity of 2 milliampere (mA) will be applied for 20 minutes per session daily for 5 days via the Soterix 1x1 tDCS mini-CT Stimulator device with headgear and 5x7 cm saline-soaked surface sponge electrodes.

DEVICE

Sham tDCS

The electrodes will be placed in the same positions as for active stimulation, but the stimulator will only deliver 2 mA current for 30 seconds.
