“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) technologies have been developed to the point where they can monitor event‐related potential (ERP) signals in the brain. Unlike MRI scans, which can provide a picture of brain signals every second, ERP scans can register signals up to one‐thousandth of a second and predict if someone is about to lie a few milliseconds before they actually do so (Greely, ; Vendemia, Caine, & Evans, ). Future adaptations of such tools, if they can be legally and ethically implemented, could offer substantial assistance in identifying, screening, and minimizing the potential effects of psychopathic behavior in the workplace.…”

Numerous studies across several disciplines have described the genetic and environmental factors that can lead to the emergence of individual psychopathic personality traits and the psychological characteristics and behaviors of criminal psychopaths. Over the past three decades, an extensive body of research has also documented the effects of “functional” psychopaths in business and public‐sector organizations. Apart from some research on bullying and sexual harassment in colleges and universities, however, there are no published studies on the prevalence or effects of psychopathic behavior in the higher education sector. An examination of the causes of psychopathy and an evaluation of its manifestation in institutions of higher learning highlights the main consequences of this behavior and lead to practical suggestions for addressing and preventing it.

“…Later, Hill and Pond [11], Kennard [12] as well as Bach-y-Rita and colleagues [13] and others continued studying the brains of offenders, antisocial individuals and violent patients, demonstrating a slowing of the EEG that is primarily expressed over temporal regions. In the following years, methodological limitations in these earlier studies were overcome by EEG studies with improved study designs, automatic signal processing and advanced feature extraction [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

Balancing the brain of offenders with psychopathy? Resting state EEG and electrodermal activity after a pilot study of brain self-regulation training

et al. 2021

Although investigation of the brains of criminals began quite early in the history of psychophysiological research, little is known about brain plasticity of offenders with psychopathy. Building on our preliminary study reporting successful brain self-regulation using slow cortical potential (SCP) neurofeedback in offenders with psychopathy, we investigated the central nervous and autonomic peripheral changes occurring after brain self-regulation in a group of severe male offenders with psychopathy. Regarding the central nervous system, an overall suppression of the psychopathic overrepresentation of slow frequency bands was found, such as delta and theta band activity, after EEG neurofeedback. In addition, an increase in alpha band activity could be observed after the SCP self-regulation training. Electrodermal activity adaptively changed according to the regulation task, and this flexibility improved over training time. The results of this study point towards a constructive learning process and plasticity in neural and peripheral measures of offenders with psychopathy.

Purpose: To provide an overview of how gender identity is treated in death row research. Methods: By use of a systematic review of 56 peer-reviewed journal articles that were identified as empirical, employing either qualitative or quantitative data, concepts measuring the use of gender and race identity were developed. Results: Findings were presented by the methodology employed, area of research, sample composition, and key concepts which included the use of gendered terminology in titles, abstracts, and manuscripts, as well as by the author(s)’s gender identities. Conclusion: In general, regardless of methodology or area of research, death row research does not account for the effects of gender or intersectional identities unless the sample participants or subject matter pertains to women.
