Summary
In this pilot study, the feasibility of using tDCS (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) while performing a task requiring cognitive flexibility will be examined in smokers and initial data will be collected regarding the effect of tDCS on smoking cessation behaviors. Smokers will be randomized to receive either active or sham tDCS daily for 5 days after which they will attempt to quit smoking. Smoking behavior after the attempted quit date will be assessed at four weekly visits.
