I’m delighted to say that Adam Kolber of the University of San Diego School of Law, will be guest-blogging this week on law and neuroscience. Prof. Kolber writes and teaches about neuroethics, bioethics, and criminal law. I first learned about him from reading his fascinating Therapeutic Forgetting: The Legal and Ethical Implications of Memory Dampening; he has also written on the ethics of clinical placebo deception, pain detection and privacy, organ transplant rules, and the treatment of apes in standing law.
Prof. Kolber is also the author of the Neuroethics & Law Blog, and, this school year, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellow at Princeton University.
