The aim of the study is to explore the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on either the right tempo-parietal junction (rTPJ) or the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) in healthy older adults (replication in a different sample of a study by Martin et al., 2020).

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Response Time in milliseconds in Visual-Perspective Taking Paradigm (VPT) in the active tDCS. | The outcome in the VPT paradigm will be response time in milliseconds (for correct answers only). | at Day 1 or 7 (depends on randomization) | |
Primary | Response Time in milliseconds in Visual-Perspective Taking Paradigm (VPT) in the sham tDCS. | The outcome in the VPT paradigm will be response time in milliseconds (for correct answers only). | at Day 1 or 7 (depends on randomization) | |
Primary | Response Time in milliseconds in the Reading the mind in the eyes test (RMET) in the active tDCS. | Outcome in the RMET will be reaction times in milliseconds (of correct answers only) in either rTPJ or dmPFC stimulation in comparison to sham stimulation. | at Day 1 or 7 (depends on randomization) | |

Secondary | Functional and structural connectivity (via MRI) | It will be investigated how functional and structural connectivity of the brain and individual differences measured with an MRI assessment influence with the success of the RMET and VPT paradigms in an explorative research question.Structural and functional connectivity will be assessed. | MRI Assessment takes places before participants are stimulated with tDCS at Baseline (Day 1). |
