NEW YORK � Legal scholars and scientists from more than a dozen universities will examine the interaction of law and neuroscience as part of a new, first-of-its kind project.
The Law and Neuroscience Project aims to bring together law and the emerging field of neuroscience to help determine how courts should deal with questions relating to issues such as guilt and innocence, punishment, bias and truth-telling. The project was made possible thanks to an initial $10 million, 3-year grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
