Summary

The main objective of this study is to investigate the causal relationship between prefrontal cortex activity and antisocial behavior, as well as risk factors for antisocial behavior. Specifically, this study tests the hypothesis that upregulating activity in the prefrontal cortex through a non-invasive form of brain stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) will reduce antisocial and aggressive behavior. The effects of 3 days of anodal stimulation over the prefrontal cortex are assessed.

Conditions

  • Aggression

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation

Non-invasive stimulation will be conducted using a tDCS device (StarStim, Neuroelectrics, Spain).

DEVICE

Sham transcranial direct current stimulation

The same device will be used as in the active stimulation group, but stimulation will be terminated after 30 seconds.
