Fig. 3. — Cheaters exhibit higher activation in the ACC and left IFG when deciding to be honest. (A) A whole-brain analysis revealed that participants who cheat more exhibit higher activation in the ACC and left IFG when deciding to be honest. (B) Cognitive control network derived from Neurosynth. (C) Neural overlap between group-level results for honest vs. cheated trials correlated with cheat count and the cognitive control mask obtained from Neurosynth in the left IFG and ACC. (D) The correlation between cheat count and neural activation when participants decided to be honest as contrasted to a decision to cheat, for the left IFG and the ACC (using ROIs from the conjunction analysis).
