DEVICE

Delta-beta cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation via the NeuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MC

Delta-beta stimulation will be delivered via the NeuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MC, an investigational electrical non-invasive brain stimulation device that is being used for foundational neuroscience and translational research.

BEHAVIORAL

Single-session behavioral activation

"Participants will take part in a single-session behavioral activation (BA) intervention. This intervention was adapted from standard BA protocols for the treatment of depression to be completed in a single, 90-minute session. This intervention will have 4 main components based on prior protocols:~* Treatment overview and rationale~* Tracking of daily activities~* Exploration of values~* Planning/scheduling activities"

DEVICE

Active sham cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation via the NeuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MC

Active sham stimulation will be delivered via the NeuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MC, an investigational electrical non-invasive brain stimulation device that is being used for foundational neuroscience and translational research.
