Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Questionnaire (1) for assessing the side effects of the stimulation. Adverse events questionnaire (1). When: After T2 and T3.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
T2 and T3: On the behavioral level: Valence assessment of the presented emotional stimuli. On the level of neuronal activity/brain activity: Detection of brain regions that exhibit increased activity during stimulation and emotion regulation (reappraisal) compared to their respective control conditions (sham or viewing negative stimuli). On the physiological level: Skin conductance level.
