Anodal tDCS

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) (Neuroconn DC-stimulator)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The anode will be fixed over the primary motor cortex. The cathode will be fixed over the contralateral supraorbital region.

Sham tDCS

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) (Neuroconn DC-stimulator)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The anode will be fixed over the primary motor cortex. The cathode will be fixed over the contralateral supraorbital region.
