3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Computer Training with active tDCSExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized to this arm will receive computer-based cognitive training using a car racing game with active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
Group II: Computer Training with sham tDCSActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to this arm will receive computer-based cognitive training using a car racing game with sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
Group III: Computer Training with or without tDCSPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants in this arm will watch educational videos as a comparator to computer training with the car racing game (watching educational videos).
