NEUROSCIENCE AND THE LAW
The courts have historically deciphered intent and past occurences by the exchange of dialogue between attorneys, witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants. As scientists have gained more insight to the inner workings of the human brain, there is an increased potential to apply science to such matters as deception, mental health, memory, and addiction. Through a series of judicial seminars and an invitational workshop, AAAS has explored the ways in which neuroscience may impact the legal system.
