One thought on “Neurolaw”

  1. This story first broke on Saturday the 14th, and was reported on the Stanford Center for Law and the Biosciences Blog by Emily Murphy of Stanford University: http://lawandbiosciences.wordpress.com/2009/03/14/no-lie-mri-being-offered-as-evidence-in-court/Although the court has not yet determined whether the “evidence” is admissible, it will be interesting to see whether the defense can get a reputable neuroscientist to interpret the brain activation in response to three questions that were posed to the defendant. Scary stuff.
