Interventions
tDCS and bodily illusions
Participants will be required to perform (in person) 10 interventions over a time frame of 2-4 weeks. They can perform this everyday or for a minimum of 2-3 times per week over 4 weeks. Two types of illusions will be used 15 min each, the rubber hand illusion and the walking illusion to target upper and lower limbs. These procedures will impact the body representation of the participants resulting in bodily illusions.
