Interventions

Active tDCSdevice

The brain is stimulated for 20 minutes with mild electrical current (maximum 2 mA) with two 7 cm x 5 cm electrodes placed on the scalp, using a standard 1x1 tDCS Clinical Trials device (Soterix Medica, NY), specialized for double-blinding.

Sham tDCSdevice

The brain is not stimulated for 20 minutes with mild electrical current, but instead a sham procedure is administered using a standard 1x1 tDCS Clinical Trials device (Soterix Medica, NY), specialized for double-blinding.
