No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study the investigators aim to assess whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS; a safe non-invasive method for modulating the activity of specific brain regions) when applied over the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is able to modulate impulsivity in obese participants.
