- Conditions
- Healthy
- Interventions
- Device: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
- Registration Number
- NCT04343612
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Liege
- Brief Summary
20 healthy subjects will be split into 4 groups. Each group will receive one of the following tDCS montages : anodal, bilateral, cathodal or placebo Subjects will receive 2mA for 20 mins of their attributed tDCS. The evaluation is a maximal strength test measured with the IOPI and will take place prior to, immediately following and 30 minutes after stimulation
