Background

My project explores the interplay between cognitive science and the legal system. I am currently focusing on the future of the legal system through this cognitive science lens. Among others, here a few questions leading my project research, thinking, and development.

1. How does our modern neuroscientific and psychological knowledge of human behavior shape our current legal system? How has this understanding changed historically, and does it differ internationally?

2. Can we mold the legal system to better fit our human nature and society?

3. If so, how?
