Interventions

Anodal tsDCSdevice

During Anodal tsDCS intervention the positive end of the battery will be connected to the electrode on participant's back and negative end of the battery will be connected to the electrode on participant's shoulder. The battery will be turned on for 15 minutes, and the stimulation strength will be adjusted a couple of times per tolerance level.

Cathodal tsDCSdevice

During Cathodal tsDCS intervention the negative end of the battery will be connected to the electrode on participant's back and positive end of the battery will be connected to the electrode on participant's shoulder. The battery will be turned on for 15 minutes, and the stimulation strength will be adjusted a couple of times per tolerance level.

Sham tsDCSdevice

During Sham tsDCS intervention, battery will be turned off and no current will pass through the electrodes.
