Scanning Inmates

Just a few years back, Prof. Decety has done a few experiments and research on the psychopaths, finding out that simply do not have the neural “equipment” for empathy. With his team, he examined the brains of 121 inmates held in a U.S. medium-security prison during which they were exposed to painful situations. The study participants were also tested with the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R).
