I wonder how the researchers take into account/control for the effects of each participant being wired up. Do you suppose we are more or less empathic when under scrutiny?

For a psychotherapist being empathic is necessary but taken alone may not be enough. While it can help a patient feel supported and understood, it does not necessarily promote change. Sometimes a therapist with his own boundary issues may be too concerned with being empathic because of his need for approval or need to be liked.
