Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Young adults; men and women; between 18 and 30 years old; with hearing acuity; no self-reported use of psychoactive substances

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Individuals with epilepsy; taking anticonvulsant medication and/or sleep deprivation; with photosensitivity; with a history of seizures for any reason; with metallic materials implanted in or near the head; with pacemakers or cardiac wires (Stents) or with another active device in which interaction with the electric field may interfere with its functioning; participants with eczema on the head will be excluded

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that there will be an increase in the parameters of cognitive functions immediately after the application of electrical currents, demonstrating the superiority of one of the currents.

Secondary
