A mathematical model using brain activity from nine control-network areas predicted participants' number of wins in cheating-opportunity trials with almost 80% accuracy in Greene and Paxton's study.
Notes on verification
Confirmed directly from the original PNAS paper (Greene & Paxton, 2009) and PMC full text, which report a model built from the 9 identified control-network regions reduced to 5 regions/7 variables explaining 79% of variance in cheating-opportunity win predictions.
