Interventions

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) will be delivered by a battery-driven electric current stimulator (Eldith DC Stimulator (CE 0118), Ilmenau) using a pair of electrodes: (1) cathodal el
(2) anodal electrode over the right deltoid muscle (25 cm²). Stimulation will be delivered for 20 minutes during an inhibition response task. Stimulation comprises either: (1) cathodal tDCS (2 mA)
and (2) placebo (sham) tDCS (0 mA).
