neurosymposium

		Neuroscience, Law and Government Symposium
		Program Videos Fascinating neuroscience developments are changing how we perceive and understand the world around us. Many neuroscience discoveries have important implications for both law and government, particularly in detecting deception and visualizing mental illness, injury or disease. The U.S. Government is interested in potential uses for neuroscience, and the courts have begun to admit neuroimaging evidence at trial. This symposium considers the complicated intersections of neuroscience with government and law. Click here to view the complete program. Keynote Speaker: Professor Henry T.
