- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Increase of the P300 amplitude by tACS (Measured by frequency analysis in the EEG).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improvement of attention performance (reaction times, omission and commission errors). <br>Brain activity is measured by EEG before, during and after the interventions. The electrostimulation or sham stimulation will be applied with the help of a certified electrostimulator. The parameters for attention performance are measured by a visual oddball task (Comparison between before and after the intervention).
