Abstract

This paper is structured into five sections. Section 1 provides an overview of the nature of the field of law and neuroscience (L&N). Section 2 explains how the field of cognitive neuroscience is more relevant to L&N debates than other neuroscientific domains, a point which, as shown in Section 3, was pivotal to the early work of neuro-lawyers. A short presentation of the set of technologies used to obtain images from the brain and which sustain L&N literature follows in Section 4. In Section 5, a few examples of the impact of neuroscientific outcomes on legal concepts and practices are presented. Some of the arguments advanced by those authors who assert the revolutionary impact of neuroscience on law and by those who predict its irrelevance—or even its dangers—will also be outlined throughout the presentation.

Keywords:

Resumen

Este artículo está estructurado en cinco secciones. En la primera, se ofrece una visión general de lo que se trata en el ámbito Derecho y Neurociencia (L&N, por sus siglas en inglés). La segunda sección explica cómo la Neurociencia Cognitiva tiene una mayor relevancia para los debates de L&N que otros dominios neuro-científicos que, como se muestra en la tercera sección, fueron fundamentales para la actividad original de los neuro-abogados. Seguirá una breve presentación del conjunto de tecnologías utilizadas para obtener imágenes del cerebro de las que se nutre la literatura de L&N. En la quinta sección, se presentan ejemplos del impacto de los resultados neurocientíficos sobre algunos conceptos y prácticas jurídicas. Parte de los argumentos presentados por los autores que invocan el impacto revolucionario de la neurociencia en el derecho y por quienes predicen su irrelevancia, si no sus peligros, también se describen a lo largo de la presentación.
