The effect of voluntary control of heart rate deceleration on skin conductance level: an example of response fractionation.

abstract：:Personality assessment has been challenged by the fact that different assessment methods (implicit measures, behavioral measures and explicit rating scales) show little or no convergence in behavioral studies. In this neuroimaging study we address for the first time, whether different assessment methods rely on separa...
