Top, Model of decision process [modified from Mazurek et al. (2003)]. Bottom, Selected decision-related activations (Thielscher and Pessoa, 2007). Regions in orange predict whether a fearful or a disgusted face has been presented. Regions in blue predict whether the participant will choose “fearful” or “disgusted,” and regions in yellow correlate with decision as operationalized by trial-to-trial changes in reaction time.
