DEVICE

High-definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

"High-definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) delivers current through five small electrodes (0.8 cm2) placed in an X-shaped configuration via a simple cap. This configuration leads to an 80% greater concentration or focusing of the electric field within the targeted region compared to conventional, non-focal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). The participant will undergo 30 minutes of treatment at 2 milliamps."

DEVICE

Conventional Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Surface electrodes will be placed in saline-soaked sponges (5 x 7 cm2) and applied to different regions of the scalp. The participant will undergo 30 minutes of treatment at 2 milliamps.
