Interventions
DEVICE

Personalized Experimental Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

This study will deliver tDCS sessions for ten sessions completed within two weeks. Participants will receive 20 minutes of active stimulation with a 2mA intensity over personalized brain regions based on the particular neural correlates of socio-affective processing.

DEVICE

Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

This study will deliver tDCS sessions for ten sessions completed within two weeks. Participants assigned to the sham control group will only receive 30 seconds of active stimulation.

DEVICE

Conventional Experimental Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

This study will deliver tDCS sessions for ten sessions completed within two weeks. Participants will receive 20 minutes of active stimulation with a 2mA intensity with anode placed over F3.
