This PhD project is part of an NWO VICI Grant awarded to Dr. Dennis Schutter and will be performed at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Utrecht University. Studies will be part of the affective cerebellum research programme, which investigates the role of the little brain in emotions and emotional disorders. The VICI will focus on the cerebello-hypothalamic pathway and steroid hormones in anger and aggression.
The PhD project involves a series of non-invasive brain stimulation to examine the cerebellar mechanisms underlying anger and aggression. Main tasks will include designing experimental studies and electric field modelling, recruitment and data, analysis of psychophysiological, behavioural and neuroimaging data, communication of results via publication in scientific journals and presentations at conferences, and collaboration with other lab members working on this project. There will be close collaborations with different disciplines within Utrecht University and other (international) centres.
