DEVICE

Active high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) - anodal F3/F4

Participants receive anodal HD-tDCS targeting the left or right DLPFC (F3/F4).

DEVICE

Sham high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) - anodal F3/F4

Participants receive sham HD-tDCS targeting the left or right DLPFC (F3/F4). The device mimics the sensation of stimulation without delivering active current.

DEVICE

Active high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) - anodal F3/ kathodal F4

Participants receive anodal HD-tDCS targeting the left DLPFC (F3) and cathodal stimulation targeting the right DLPFC (F4).
