Combined Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Cognitive Training and Decision-making
Sponsor: Dr. Najat Khalifa
Summary
This study aims to (i) assess the effects of combined tDCS and cognitive training on decision-making on a trained task (Iowa Gambling Task; IGT); and (ii) test generalization to a closely related cognitive domain, namely motor impulsivity. It is hypothesized that combined anodal tDCS and cognitive training will result in more advantageous decisions and better impulse control than combined sham tDCS and cognitive training.
