I love that Bruneau was looking at different aspects of empathy in one study. Empathy is difficult to study because there are many different components of empathy – I think it’s unfair to consider it vague, but it is difficult to define for the same reason that it is difficult to study. Of course, Rebecca Saxe is famously modular in her approach – she would say that pure empathy is housed in a particular part of the brain. :P

More than qualifying empathy, I’d be interested in the fMRI results when comparing components of empathy, for example sympathy vs respect.
