“Law and Neuroscience is a complex field, filled with potential promise, as well as with pitfalls. It requires that lawyers, judges and other members of the legal community understand the nature of neuroscientific evidence, rethink assumptions, and make hard choices. And given both the scope and pace of developments, it’s especially important to ensure that neuroscientific evidence is properly understood and evaluated, so that it may aid, rather than hinder, the fair and effective administration of justice.” ~ Owen D.
