Alcohol-induced aggression imposes substantial psychological, public health, social, and economic burdens on victims, perpetrators, and society. When people drink and brood over interpersonal transgressions, they are at increased risk of violence, even toward the innocent. The goal of the proposed research is to identify neural mechanisms that account for this increased aggression. Students interested in conducting both behavioural experiments as well as EEG/ERP and fMRI research are especially encouraged to apply. PhD funding is available.
