Interventions
DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

The active-tDCS treatment will consist of a constant 2mA current applied during daily 30-minute sessions with a 30 second ramp up and ramp down at the start and end of the stimulation. The anode electrode will be placed over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the cathode electrode over the right DLPFC.

DEVICE

Sham tDCS

Sham-tDCS treatment will consist of the same montage as the active-tDCS but the electric current will be applied only in the first and final 30s of stimulation.
