Summary

The study examines the effects of the combined use of two different non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques targeting the DLPFC on stress reactivity and recovery.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

active tDCS

A current of 2 milliampère (mA) through electrodes of 5x5cm.

DEVICE

sham tDCS

Similar set-up as in the active tDCS, but stimulation is too short to cause any effects.

DEVICE

iTBS

54 cycles with 10 bursts of 3 pulses, train duration of 2 seconds and intertrain intervals of 6 seconds, results in 1620 pulses at 110% resting motor threshold.
