DEVICE

TGP-tACS

"38 min and 20s of 4mA peak-to-peak theta-gamma stimulation with 75 Hz-gamma coupled to the peak of 6Hz-theta waves. 3s ramp-up at the beginning of stimulation and 3s ramp-down at the end of stimulation.~Administered using a Starstim® device and 5 gel electrodes with a πcm² area."

DEVICE

Sham-tACS

38 min and 20s of alternation between 10s of 4mA peak-to-peak TGP- tACS and a 6 min 30s stimulation-free interval. Each stimulation consists of 3s ramp-up, 4s TGP stimulation and 3s ramp-down. Administered using a Starstim® device and 5 gel electrodes with a πcm² area.
