Study Groups

tDCS/music

active tDCS combined with music

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

tDCS

Intervention Type DEVICE

Multi-channel tDCS will be applied over the executive network for 20 minutes at 4mA

Music

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes

sham tDCS/music

Sham tDCS combined with music

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sham tDCS

Intervention Type DEVICE

Sham tDCS will consist of applying the same parameters as for active but the corresponding device will be turned off after 30 seconds as to simulate the initial sensation of the active current. A current of 2mA will still be used (but turned off after 30 sec). The electrodes that will be used will be the same as for the active tDCS condition and the electrodes placement as well.

Music

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes

tDCS/white noise

active tDCS combined with white noise

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

tDCS

Intervention Type DEVICE

Multi-channel tDCS will be applied over the executive network for 20 minutes at 4mA

White noise

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will listen to a white noise for 20 minutes
