Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: We expect to find an improvement of attention performance, verified by the TAVIS neuropsychological test, manifest as a reduction in the number of errors or a decrease in response time. ;Observed outcome 1: We did not observe a significant improvement in participants' attention performance mesured by TAVIS test after the proposed intervention.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 2: We expect to find an improvement of attention performance, verified by the secondary neuropsychological tests, including the CORSI cubes test, NEPSY test and Digit span test. ;Expected outcome 3: We aim to evaluate the presence and intensity of adverse effects assessed through a specific questionnaire at each stimulation session, including the most prevalent events found during the sessions;Observed outcome 2: We did not observe a significant improvement in participants' attention performance mesured by the CORSI cubes test, NEPSY test and Digit span test after the proposed intervention.;Observed outcome 3: We did not find difference in the presence and intensity of adverse effects assessed through a specific questionnaire between the TDCS and Sham groups.—
