Summary

From the change in self-regulation, memory is inhibited, allowing individuals to suppress or ignore unwanted or outdated associations and thus help to filter information relevant to dietary goals from irrelevant information. Provoking changes in neuroplasticity and cortical excitability contribute to the regulation of neural activity. Both could be modified by applying direct electrical current to the sensorimotor cortex, with polarity/current-dependent results, and their effect would last for hours after the end of stimulation. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), translated into Portuguese as Estimulação Transcraniana por Corrente Contínua (ETCC) is a neuromodulating tool in which a low-intensity electrical current is applied to the scalp to modulate neuronal activity.

Conditions

  • Craving
  • Mastication Disorder
  • Memory Disorders
  • Executive Dysfunction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

speech therapy for chewing + real tDCS

participants will be instructed to chew their food correctly during the tDCS session, but the participant does not know if the tdcs is real or sham.
