Are all brains really created equal? Is mass incarceration the most fruitful method to deal with juveniles, the mentally ill, and the drug-addicted? Can novel technologies such as real-time brain imaging be leveraged for new methods of rehabilitation?
These are just a few of the emerging questions at the interface of law and neuroscience and are challenging fundamental notions at the heart of our criminal justice system.
Join our panel of legal experts and scholars in a discussion as to why the legal system will eventually be forced to shift emphasis from blameworthiness to a forward-thinking analysis of future behavior. These and other issues will be examined through the lens of Baylor College of Medicine's Initiative on Neuroscience and Law, which brings together a unique collaboration of neurobiologists, legal scholars and policy makers, with the goal of building modern, evidence-based policy.
