No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cognitive effects of different electrical stimulation modalities, such as transcranial direct and random-noise stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, in schizophrenia.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) active stimulator

In tDCS the electrical current is applied directly between electrodes mounted on the head which can can de-or hyperpolarizes resting membrane potential and thereby modulate cortical excitability

DEVICE

transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)

Here, an alternating electrical current is applied at a mix of frequencies it is called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), which can be delivered in low (between 0.1-100 Hz) or high (between 101-640 Hz) frequency stimulation

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sham stimulator

Here a sham electrical current is applied directly between electrodes mounted on the head which can can de-or hyperpolarizes resting membrane potential and thereby modulate cortical excitability
