Abstract

We will examine the impact of neuroscientific evidence on mock jurors in fictitious criminal cases. A jury pool from popular survey apps will be asked to adjudge culpability. This study is expected to clarify the likely impact of neuroscientific explanations of deviant behavior on perceptions of responsibility and appropriate punishment.
