Law regulates human behaviour, a phenomenon about which
neuroscience has much to say. Neuroscience can tell us whether a
defendant suffers from a brain abnormality, or injury and it can
correlate these neural deficits with criminal offending. Using fMRI
and other technologies it might indicate whether a witness is
telling lies or the truth. It can further propose
neuro-interventions to 'change' the brains of offenders and so to
reduce their propensity to offend. And, it can make suggestions
about whether a defendant knows or merely suspects a prohibited
state of affairs; so, drawing distinctions among the mental states
that are central to legal responsibility. Each of these matters has
philosophical import; is a neurological 'deficit' inculpatory or
exculpatory; what is the proper role for law if the mind is no more
than the brain; is lying really a brain state and can neuroscience
really 'read' the brain? In this edited collection, leading
contributors to the field provide new insights on these matters,
bringing to light the great challenges that arise when disciplinary
boundaries merge.
