神经科学与社会哲学博士-法律与神经科学

杜克大学（Duke）的教职员工探索行为遗传学和神经科学如何以及如何影响刑事司法系统。从遗传学和神经科学在检察决策中的作用，到提高准确性和减少刑事定罪中的错误，再到科学如何为事实调查和发现真相，真相提供信息。杜克大学的研究人员正在发现行为科学如何影响法律和政策。重点包括报酬和不公平感在确定金钱损失方面的影响，审判过程中记忆的使用和影响，基于合作感的奖励感和希望惩罚那些试图不公平地获取资源的人的基因和神经机制，以及法律如何系统应适应神经科学的进步。
Faculty across Duke explore how behavioral genetics and neuroscience should and do impact the criminal justice system. From the role of genetics and neuroscience in prosecutorial decision-making, to improving the accuracy and reducing the errors in criminal convictions, to how science can inform fact-finding and discovering ?truth,? Duke researchers are discovering how behavioral sciences impact law and policy. Focuses include the effects of retribution and perceived unfairness in determining monetary damages, the use and impact of memory during trials, genes and neural mechanisms underlying the sense of reward for cooperation and desire to punish those who try to obtain resources unfairly, and how the legal system should adapt to advances in neuroscience.
