Combined Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Cognitive Training and Decision-making

The Use of Combined Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Cognitive Training to Modulate Decision-making in Healthy People


Sponsor

Dr. Najat Khalifa

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Sep 15, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study aims to (i) assess the effects of combined tDCS and cognitive training on decision-making on a trained task (Iowa Gambling Task; IGT); and (ii) test generalization to a closely related cognitive domain, namely motor impulsivity. It is hypothesized that combined anodal tDCS and cognitive training will result in more advantageous decisions and better impulse control than combined sham tDCS and cognitive training.
