Brains on Trial: Neuroscience and Law

[@allenculbertson8170]

I have a question respectfully and humbly. As a recovering addict, I was 13 years old when I became a full grown methamphetamine addict. I was also a run away kid. Who was kicked out of school while in the 5th grade. I went through many other life experiences since then. My question is could my trauma and extreme drug use and sleep deprivation as a child result in my brain not fully developing? God bless you and seriously thank you so much for your hard work and services 🙏 ❤️ Amen 🙏

Suspects of a crime are always chosen because if their association to the people or items involved. If someone has a romantic connection to the victim of a murder, for example, wouldn't that be a stronger reaction than that of the murderer? How would you distinguish the two?

Lack of empathy being a common characteristic during the Nuremberg Trials...

God bless the world science festival 🙏 and all that you do. 🙏

God bless them ?. they need condemned to death for creating technologies the state can use to enslave people and it is being used to enslave people

Great work Alan Alda... To all you criminals out there, you know who you are.... You will get the help that you need. don't be afraid to ask.. Be honest with yourselves and you will have peace. You might feel caught in an emotional thinking pattern that is not healthy but you deserve a better emotional life than getting mixed up in the law - Rhetoric is not Justice, healthy society is justice. Thinking you have seen that same hair color or haircut before? A face has many rememberable features, each unsepperable from thousands of memories. Ie. 4 billion peple alive with black hair. All people would be blind if we want an eye for an eye. NEUROSCIENCE needs to solve the problem of society programming criminals. Then, we can get healthy, by healing the competitive mentality in society which causes all this chaos - mainly, Ownership style economy.

We can adapt to stuff like this. It wouldn't take that much time for people to mislead such a system - mainly because of our ability to mislead ourselves.

I feel really sorry for US's jury system.

[@WILLYLYNCH.]

Where do you live? In India they have already convicted someon in a court of law from a brain scan. They showed the suspect pictures of the crime that "only the guilty could know" while scanning the suspects brain. I think they can tell if it's familiar to you, or new to you. I can see all kinds of fuckery with that idea. What if you get showed a scene of a crime and the dead guy in the picture is wearing a jacket your dad used to wear for years, and it registers as strong familiar brain activity. I could think of ten more things off the top that could make the test pisibley. unrelible

[@ArtII2Long]

I will happily bet $1000 dollars right now that I can beat this test.

God bless you and thank u

Anyone know the citation from 25:20?

[@KR-wf5km]

What if you reversed the process and put memories into a brain?

Alan Alda hosts this talk.

what about micro signals?

What happens when my brain is defective? (I believe it is)

Isaac Asimov wrote a science fiction short story about a device called the "psychoprobe" with this exact purpose... ⚖️ 🧠 🔍

IM STUDYING BOOKS ON NEUROLOGY AND THIS IS JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THANKS ANDV GOD BLESS THE USA.

. wow thanks for a nice talks.'

answer to your question at 13.18. is yes the evidence of a lie using this experiment to monitor a person on the stand. can yes answer some questions. its determining what questions are accepted and not in a court room that allows the use of such a machine to monitor the brains response. this is what ultumatly what legaly could be used for amongst other potential uses :)

[@dragyoudownbelow3784]

The brain is to complex. There are way to many variables that come into play to every call this accurate. Let's say someone gets slapped in the face with a watch everyday from the day they are born then they are asked to take this test they pick the ring. What are the results?

[@kevinm5932]

This is sickening

[@kevinm5932]

A truth serum would never be allowed in a court of law. What makes these idiots think that v2k would be allowed? 8:30

[@kevinm5932]

16:30 how could you possibly justify a warrant for someone's memories? At what point does that warrant expire? What information are they entitled to with such a warrant? This is unlawful unreasonable seizure of intellectual property and a violation of the bill of rights. You have the right to not self incriminate, do you not?

[@kevinm5932]

6:50 their is nothing more physically invasive than reading someone's memories. This android of a woman has no argument because it is full of logical fallacies. 7:30 "I just thought it was okay to have bad thoughts" Not with Nazis like this woman and her conspirators acting as thought police. Try being a targeted individual under 24/7 v2k remote neutral monitoring.

[@kevinm5932]

48:00 what kind of psychopath scans the brain of their children. I hope they grew up and sued his a$$

[@kevinm5932]

These people at the end talk about psychopaths while behaving like they are psychopaths. Someone made a joke about one person in the crowd being psychotic but I counted 5 and they were all on stage. Targeted individuals are not happy about being victims of predatory programs like these.

I really, really wish you had stuck to MASH*. The mind is not the brain.

Indicators of "probable cause" vs. 5th Amendment rights...

[@happychristina3162]

Bs!

[@salazeyad]

Hello, would you please explain why do you think this is “Bs!”? How is it bullshit? And what exactly is the bullshit part of this talk? I would appreciate a response. :) Thank you.

[@topnatche5622]

The 5th amendment doesn't allow ones body or mind to be used against them.

Lol if they are private or not it's whatever

[@Georgebisonopardo]

codifying your thoughts and humanity

[@sinisamajetic]

Someone should've told this MASH guy the show is not about him, otherwise we could actually hear what guests had to say, how sadly narcissistic, he act like they have no comprehension about how understandable they are for general public and luckily he's there to interpret. I hope I won't turn that way once I get old.

[@lefortkevin83]

he's paid to do a fucking job god damn. and by all standards he did a pretty good job.

[@cheeseburgerinparadise7124]

Not even gonna watch. Its simple: Break the law and do the time. No neuroscience needed, AT ALL. This is just a way to justify whatever you want and its sick as hell. Also: I study and teach neuroscience so have some skin in the game. Y'all are killing me and my work as a counselor/educator!
