Interventions
DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) active stimulator

In tDCS the electrical current is applied directly between electrodes mounted on the head which can can de-or hyperpolarizes resting membrane potential and thereby modulate cortical excitability

DEVICE

transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)

Here, an alternating electrical current is applied at a mix of frequencies it is called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), which can be delivered in low (between 0.1-100 Hz) or high (between 101-640 Hz) frequency stimulation

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sham stimulator

Here a sham electrical current is applied directly between electrodes mounted on the head which can can de-or hyperpolarizes resting membrane potential and thereby modulate cortical excitability
