Interventions

Active tDCSdevice

The intervention is active 2mA transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Direct current will be transferred with a pair of saline soaked sponge electrodes (contact area 5 x 7cm), and delivered for 30 minutes. The electrodes will be placed over F3 and F4 according to the 10-20 international system for EEG placement.

Sham tDCSdevice

The sham intervention is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). 2mA of direct current will be transferred with a pair of saline soaked sponge electrodes (contact area 5 x 7cm), and the current will be turned off after 54 seconds.The electrodes will be placed over F3 and F4 according to the 10-20 international system for EEG placement.
