Study Arms (2)
active tDCS
ACTIVE COMPARATORpatients will received 2 sessions per day for 5 consecutive days. Each session will last 20 minutes. The tDCS device will deliver a direct current of 2mA during 20 minutes. Cathode will be localized in front of the left orbito-frontal on the FP3 point according to the EEG international reference. Anode will be localized in front of the right cerebellum 3 cm below the inion and 1 cm right from the midline
SHAM tDCS
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe same procedure will be applied except that the tDCS device will only deliver a current stimulation for the 10 first seconds.
Interventions
The tDCS device will deliver a direct current of 2mA during 20 minutes. Cathode will be localized in front of the left orbito-frontal on the FP3 point according to the EEG international reference. Anode will be localized in front of the right cerebellum 3 cm below the inion and 1 cm right from the midline
