B01: Neurobehavioral effects of repetitive prefrontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on pathological aggression
TDCS will be used as an interventional tool to decrease aggression.
Cognitive system
Investgation of the role of the cognitive system in aggression in mental disorders. The cognitive system supports the quick and flexible adaptation to social demands including processes such as inhibition and regulation, goal and response selection, as well as representation. In the context of aggression, cognitive control may be the most important part of enabling self-regulation in response to frustration or threat.
