Volitional control of the anterior insula in criminal psychopaths using real-time fMRI neurofeedback: a pilot study

This pilot study aimed to explore whether criminal psychopaths can learn volitional regulation of the left anterior insula with real-time fMRI neurofeedback. Our previous studies with healthy volunteers showed that learned control of the blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal was specific t...
