C07: Identifying mediators of threat-aggression and experimental manipulation by tDCS
Test the interaction of the CS and frustrative non-reward as part of the NVS. It will investigate the electrophysiological
correlates of frustrative feedback in aggression-prone patients. In the aftermath of induced stress, an EEG task-battery
including frustrative feedback will be applied for extraction of error-related negativity (ERN) and contingent negative
variation to monitor electro-physiologic signaling of the relevant learning and frustration processes. In half of the
participants, tDCS over the prefrontal cortex will be applied to enhance cognitive control, with participants being put into
a stress context inducing frustration.
