DEVICE

Home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

Each participant will be asked to do ten home-based tDCS sessions, one per weekday, during two weeks (Monday to Friday). Each session will be supervised remotely by a member of the research staff via HIPAA-compliant videoconference. Participants will receive active home-based tDCS (constant current intensity of 2mA) anodal-left and cathodal-right prefrontal for 30 minutes per session daily for 2 weeks (Monday to Friday - 10 sessions overall) via a tDCS stimulator with headgear and 5x7 (35cm2) saline-soaked surface sponge electrodes.

DEVICE

Sham home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

Each participant will be asked to do ten home-based sessions, one per weekday, during two weeks (Monday to Friday). Each session will be supervised remotely by a member of the research staff via HIPAA-compliant videoconference. Participants will receive sham home-based tDCS for 30 minutes per session daily for 2 weeks (Monday to Friday - 10 sessions overall) via a tDCS stimulator with headgear and 5x7 (35cm2) saline-soaked surface sponge electrodes.
