|---|---|---|---|---|
| tDCS | Device | Multi-channel tDCS will be applied over the executive network for 20 minutes at 4mA |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 3-back | The subject is presented with a sequence of stimuli, and the task consists of indicating when the current stimulus matches the one from 3 steps earlier in the sequence. | It will be measured over the course of four weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Stroop | The subject has to name the font color of a printed word, while it can have a mismatch between the word and the color (ex: green is written in red). | It will be measured over the course of four weeks |
| EEG - alpha power |

| Sham tDCS | Device | Sham tDCS will consist of applying the same parameters as for active but the corresponding device will be turned off after 30 seconds as to simulate the initial sensation of the active current. A current of 2mA will still be used (but turned off after 30 sec). The electrodes that will be used will be the same as for the active tDCS condition and the electrodes placement as well. |
|
| Music | Other | Subjects will listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes |
|
| White noise | Other | Subjects will listen to a white noise for 20 minutes |
|
Brain activity will be measured with an electroencephalography collected at rest. We will first look at the change in alpha power (8-12Hz)
| It will be measured over the course of four weeks |
| EEG - beta power | Brain activity will be measured with an electroencephalography collected at rest. We will also look at the change in other frequency bands (e.g., beta, theta, delta). | It will be measured over the course of four weeks |
