Active Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
High definition tDCS will be applied, using a Soterix Medical device and 4x1 ring electrodes. A centre ring electrode overlying the target cortical region (left dlPFC at position F3 according to the 10-20 system) will be surrounded by four return electrodes (position F1, FC3, F5, and AF3).
Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
The same setup and device as in the active tDCS group will be used, but in this case stimulation will be turned off after a ramp-up phase of 30 seconds. This mimics the same sensory feeling as active tDCS.
