Oddity by Acronym: EAT in the Brain to Odd Curtail Sex

This week’s Oddity by Acronym example comes from this new study:

Evaluation of electrical aversion therapy for inappropriate sexual  behaviour after traumatic brain injury: a single case experimental design study,” Bert Jan ter Mors, Caroline M van Heugten, Peter N van Harten, BMJ Case Reports, epub August 30, 2012.

“Electrical aversion therapy (EAT) is a behavioural therapeutic option… We conclude that EAT was effective in this patient with inappropriate sexual behaviour due to severe brain injury.”
