WP8 Biofeedback treatment of arousal in impulsive and instrumental aggression WP8’s goal is to tackle the limitations of current behavioural and pharmacological treatments of paediatric aggression, since there is a need for innovative personalised treatment targeting the core brain and autonomous functions, such as arousal dysregulation in paediatric aggression implicated in aggression. WP8 will therefore establish the most consistent markers of distinguishing between instrumental and impulsive aggression, develop an innovative biofeedback training protocol for patients to learn self regulation of their individual specific physiological deficits in various naturalistic situations, and it will finally evaluate the effects of such personalized, deficit -specific biofeedback training for both forms of aggression in a controlled multicenter trial.
