Here’s an older one from one of the authors that is free.  The new paper gets 
at directionality – the beginnings of starting to infer the `state machine’.

Roger,
Do you have access to the PDF?  Can you send it to me?  Thanks.

Goal-directed human behaviors are driven by motives. Motives are, however, 
purely mental constructs that are not directly observable. Here, we show that 
the brain’s functional network architecture captures information that predicts 
different motives behind the same altruistic act with high accuracy. In 
contrast, mere activity in these regions contains no information about motives. 
Empathy-based altruism is primarily characterized by a positive connectivity 
from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) to the anterior insula (AI), whereas 
reciprocity-based altruism additionally invokes strong positive connectivity 
from the AI to the ACC and even stronger positive connectivity from the AI to 
the ventral striatum. Moreover, predominantly selfish individuals show distinct 
functional architectures compared to altruists, and they only increase 
altruistic behavior in response to empathy inductions, but not reciprocity 
inductions.

Evidently based on subject self reporting "with high accuracy".
