When does anger turn into aggressive behaviour?

At the University van Nederland renowned scientists give short lectures about urgent matters. “Emotions” is the topic of this week. Tonight (24 January) our colleague Jill Lobbestael shows how we can determine, by measuring brain activity, when anger turns into aggression. Conclusion: people are more often angry than expected, but not often aggressive.
