Official Title: Investigation of the Mechanisms of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of Motor Cortex Coupled With Visual Illusion for the Treatment of Chronic Pain in Spinal Cord In

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) combined with watching a visual illusion on chronic pain due to spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that active tDCS will reduce pain in subjects with spinal cord injury when compared to sham stimulation. The investigators will also measure changes in EEG data (alpha and beta frequencies) as well as motor cortex excitability.
