Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

tDCS is noninvasive brain stimulation device that modulates brain activity by delivering a low-intensity electrical current (2.0 mA) through sponge electrodes placed on the scalp.

OTHER

Mindfulness

Participants will follow an audio track for guided mindfulness during the stimulation.

OTHER

Sham - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

The tDCS device is programmed to mimic active tDCS.
