This website describes the four-year PhD-project that is part of the National Initiative Brain and Cognition (NIBC (Dutch: NIHC)) project.

Within the NIBC, research projects focus on using knowledge from the fields of neuro- and cognitive sciences, to increase societal safety. For example; knowledge on biological backgrounds of aggressive behaviour can help reduce aggression; and insights in psychological effects on stress and emotions can help many professionals to function better when under stress.

The latter is the basis of the current quick-result project "Better Decisions under High Pressure".
