About this trial
This study aims to clarify relations between brain oscillations and two cognitive functions: cognitive control and memory.

Treatments tested in this trial
Sham device
DeviceIntervention which uses an inactive form of stimulation via electrodes on the scalp.
STARSTIM Device in-phase
DeviceIntervention that uses the Starstim tES device to introduce transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) in the form of in-phase theta (\~3.5 to \~7.5 Hz) via electrodes on the scalp.
STARSTIM Device anti-phase
DeviceIntervention that uses the Starstim tES device to introduce transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) in the form of anti-phase stimulation via electrodes on the scalp.
Treatment groups
90 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groupsGroup A: Sham StimulationSham comparator 1 intervention
Group B: STARSTIM device treatment (in-phase theta)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group C: STARSTIM device treatment (anti-phase stimulation)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
