Cognitive neuroscientists have deepened our understanding of the
complex relationship between mind and brain and complicated the
relationship between mental attributes and law. New arguments and
conclusions based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
electroencephalography (EEG), and other increasingly sophisticated
technologies are being applied to debates and processes in the
legal field, from lie detection to legal doctrine surrounding
criminal law, including the insanity defense to legal theory. In
Minds, Brains, and Law, Michael S. Pardo and Dennis Patterson
analyze questions that lie at the core of implementing
neuroscientific research and technology within the legal system.
They examine the arguments favoring increased use of neuroscience
in law, the scientific evidence available for the reliability of
neuroscientific evidence in legal proceedings, and the integration
of neuroscientific research into substantive legal doctrines. The
authors also explore the basic philosophical questions that lie at
the intersection of law, mind, and neuroscience. In doing so, they
argue that mistaken inferences and conceptual errors arise from
mismatched concepts, such as the disconnect between lying and what
constitutes "lying" in many neuroscientific studies. The empirical,
practical, ethical, and conceptual issues that Pardo and Patterson
seek to redress will deeply influence how we negotiate and
implement the fruits of neuroscience in law and policy in the
future. This paperback edition contain a new Preface covering
developments in this subject since the hardcover edition published
in 2013.
