fMRI hints 'will' and 'grace' are not equally honest
Honest people tell the truth, even when given a chance to lie, as shown in an fMRI brain study of truth telling and prevarication from Harvard behavioral scientists.
Honest people tell the truth, even when given a chance to lie, as shown in an fMRI brain study of truth telling and prevarication from Harvard behavioral scientists.
The group, led by Joshua Greene, an assistant professor of psychology at Harvard, assessed 35 subjects who attempted to predict random coin flip outcomes while undergoing fMRI. Rewarded for accuracy and punished for inaccuracy, the study design also allowed them to cheat. Researchers found honest individuals displayed little to no additional neural activity in control-related brain regions when telling the truth, but liars did. Prevailing theories behind lie detection, “will” and “grace,” hypothesize that honesty results either from an active resistance to temptation or from a lack of response to it. Study findings lean toward the latter, according to researchers (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2009).
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
