Treatments
Experimental: Primary motor cortex
The anodal electrode is positioned in the primary motor cortex (Cz) and the cathodal electrode on the right orbital frontal cortex (Fp2). The current increases to 2.0 mA over a period of 30 seconds, maintains 2.0 mA for 19 minutes, and decreases to 0 mA over 30 seconds.
Experimental: Left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
The anodal electrode is positioned in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3) and the cathodal electrode on the right orbital frontal cortex (Fp2). The current increases to 2.0 mA over a period of 30 seconds, maintains 2.0 mA for 19 minutes, and decreases to 0 mA over 30 seconds.
