Interventions
Personalized Experimental Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
This study will deliver tDCS sessions for a maximum of ten sessions in two weeks' time. Participants will receive 20 minutes of active stimulation with a 2mA intensity over personalized brain regions based on the particular neural correlates of socio-affective processing.
Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
This study will deliver tDCS sessions for a maximum of ten sessions in two weeks' time. Participants assigned to the sham control group will only receive 30 seconds of active stimulation.
Conventional Experimental Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
This study will deliver tDCS sessions for a maximum of ten sessions in two weeks' time. Participants will receive 20 minutes of active stimulation with a 2mA intensity with anode placed over F3.
