Over the past 20 years, cognitive neuroscience has revolutionized
our ability to understand the nature of human thought. Working with
the understandings of traditional psychology, the new brain science
is transforming many disciplines, from economics to literary
theory. These developments are now affecting the law and there is
an upsurge of interest in the potential of neuroscience to
contribute to our understanding of criminal and civil law and our
system of justice in general. The international and
interdisciplinary chapters in this volume are written by experts in
criminal behaviour, civil law and jurisprudence. They concentrate
on the potential of neuroscience to increase our understanding of
blame and responsibility in such areas as juveniles and the death
penalty, evidence and procedure, neurological enhancement and
treatment, property, end-of-life choices, contracting and the
effects of words and pictures in law. This collection suggests that
legal scholarship and practice will be increasingly enriched by an
interdisciplinary study of law, mind and brain and is a valuable
addition to the emerging field of neurolaw.
