Neuroimagiologia e avaliação de responsabilidade

Nicole A. Vincent

Abstract


Poderiam evidências da neuroimagiologia nos ajudar a avaliar o grau de responsabilidade de uma pessoa por um crime que sabemos que ela cometeu? Este ensaio defende uma resposta afirmativa a essa questão. Uma série de típicas objeções a essa abordagem de alta tecnologia de avaliação da responsabilidade das pessoas é considerada e, depois, colocada de lado, mas também trago à luz e, em seguida, rejeito uma objeção original – uma objeção que somente é encontrada quando uma neuroimagem funcional (em vez de estrutural) é usada para aferir a responsabilidade das pessoas.
