Charl Folscher - Aggression is still a major problem in society. Within forensic care, between 50 and 75% of patients with a violent crime also have an addiction background. Current treatments are not effective enough for this target group to reduce aggression and violent recidivism. It is crucial to understand which brain processes cause aggressive behavior to develop a good treatment method. With her PhD research 'Understanding the Aggressive Brain: High-Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) in reducing aggression and as a treatment intervention in forensic patients' Carmen Sergiou has taken the first step toward better understanding which brain processes cause aggressive behavior. Her research also shows that aggressive responses are reduced and brain activity are influenced by the High-Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) technique. Reduced activity underlies aggression.
