No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to use concurrent Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) with measures of impulsivity to examine the neurobiological underpinnings of rapid response impulsivity (RRI) and how these can be modified using tDCS in healthy subjects.

Conditions

  • Impulsive Behavior

Interventions

DEVICE

Anodal tDCS

The experimental condition will use a constant current of 2mA for 20 minutes, delivered via gradual increase and decrease over 10 seconds at the onset and offset of stimulation (current ramps), respectively.

DEVICE

Sham tDCS

The anodal electrode will be placed over the supreorbital ridge. The current will be delivered only in the first 10 seconds, after which the stimulation will cease but with the electrodes still in place throughout the session. The session will last for 20 minutes.
