Interventions
DEVICE

anodal transcranial direct current stimulation

anodal tDCS of the hypothalamus resting-state functional connectivity network using 12 Electrodes of the Starstim device by Neuroelectrics. The total injected current will never go beyond 4 milliamp, which will be split among the different stimulation electrodes.

DEVICE

cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation

anodal tDCS of the hypothalamus resting-state functional connectivity network using 12 Electrodes of the Starstim device by Neuroelectrics. The total injected current will never go beyond 4 milliamp, which will be split among the different stimulation electrodes.

DEVICE

sham transcranial direct current stimulation

Double blind sham stimulation of the hypothalamus resting-state functional connectivity network (ramp-up ramp-down stimulation will be applied for 30 seconds)
