No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) on emotion processing of healthy participants. Meanwhile, the investigators evaluate the effect of tES on electroencephalography (EEG) of both resting and task-related signal. The hypothesis of this study is that tES can improve the cognitive function of emotion by modulating brain activity.

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) -active

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique of the brain with an AC micro-electrical stimulator, two rubber electrodes in saline-soaked sponges, and a control software to set the output of the stimulation type. Participants receive 20 min sessions of 1.5 mA alternating current delivered over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, for 7 consecutive days.

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-active

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non- invasive neuromodulation technique of the brain with a DC micro-electrical stimulator, two rubber electrodes in saline-soaked sponges, and a control software to set the output of the stimulation type. Participants receive 20 min sessions of 1.5 mA direct current delivered over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, for 7 consecutive days.

DEVICE

Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES)-sham

Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique of the brain with micro-electrical stimulator, two rubber electrodes in saline-soaked sponges, and a control software to set the output of the stimulation type. Participants receive sham stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, with current turned off after 30 second. The session last 20 min for 7 consecutive days.
