Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
End point is the completion of four different treatment conditions for comparison of comfort and efficiency due to the single measures. Stimulations take place with a minimum 24 h interval, measures are immediately after stimulation. Each volunteer has to assess uncomfortable side effects of the stimulation with the Comfort Rating Questionnaire. Additionally EEG recording is performed at baseline before first stimulation and after each stimulation. Aim is to show similar effects of both stimulators in terms of comfortability of active and sham stimulation and the documentation of the same activation of deep brain regions by both stimulators, measured by EEG-LORETA.
