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

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Impulsivity, Decision Making

In brief

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.
