Amygdala: EYE, OI. Sketchy:

UK scientists claim to have found a way of making people behave more honestly in an experiment they say will have a knock-on effect on everyday life.

A team from Newcastle University found people put nearly three times as much money into an "honesty box" when they were being watched by a pair of eyes on a poster, compared with a poster featuring flowers.

Researchers say the eye pictures were probably influential because the brain naturally reacts to images of faces and eyes.

"UK scientists": good, detailed, reporting there, Scotsman. Okay, they're from Newcastle U.; methinks you could be a tad more specific.
