Next, we mapped the reliable patterns of experience to the participant's own emotion labels.
The mapping was many-to-many: participants described events in multiple patterns using the same emotion label, and described events in the same pattern using different emotion labels.

For each person, we identified reliable patterns of similar events - using the heart data, valence, arousal, posture, activity, and social context recorded for each event.
The reliable patterns varied across people, both in nature and number.

Did the findings of altered activity appear in the same spatial location?
Short answer: no.
From the findings of altered activity, we pulled the peak coordinates (the point with the greatest relationship with psychopathy).
Peak coordinates were scattered across MFC.

Do psychopathic people show altered activity and volume in medial frontal cortex?
No, not usually.
We pulled every test of psychopathy as it relates to MFC activity and volume from 101 MRI studies. I explain our new paper below.
