Intervention 1: Intervention group: Receiving transcranial direct electrical stimulation for 20 minutes with an intensity of 2 mA per session, three sessions per week, and for two weeks, a total of 6 sessions. ________________________________________. Intervention 2: Control group: People in this group will receive sham stimulation. For these people, stimulation with a current intensity of 2 milliamps is applied in the first 30 seconds of the session, but after 30 seconds, the device will be automatically turned off. The device will be placed in a space out of sight of the participants and they will not know that the device is turned off. The device will remain on people's heads for 20 minutes.
