  • unobtrusive neuropsychological screening

排除标准

  • Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or other neurological diseases.
  • History of severe alcoholism or use of drugs.

结局指标

主要结局

Performance in a verbal associative learning paradigm under anodal tDCS compared to sham

时间窗: assessed immediately after training period (several learning blocks) compared to sham

Investigation whether anodal tDCS leads to improved performance accuracy in the Wernicko task compared to sham stimulation.

次要结局

  • Functional connectivity predictors(assessed during baseline testing)
  • Structural predictors(assessed during baseline testing)
  • Other cognitive outcome: Attention(assessed directly before and immediately after tDCS + training compared to)
  • Genotyping of learning related polymorphisms(: assessed during baseline screening)
  • Other cognitive outcome: Working memory(assessed directly before and immediately after tDCS + training compared to)
