Four Areas of Translation and Discovery

As new neuroscientific findings accrue, so do questions about how best to employ new knowledge in the courtroom. Concentrating on four thematic areas – memory, deception, intent, and competency – CLBB aims to conduct and support continued research, question its legal implications, and foster dialogue between scientific and legal communities.

Mission

The Center for Law, Brain & Behavior puts the most accurate and actionable neuroscience in the hands of judges, lawyers, policymakers and journalists—people who shape the standards and practices of our legal system and affect its impact on people’s lives. We work to make the legal system more effective and more just for all those affected by the law.
