Minds, freedoms, and rights : on neurorehabilitation in criminal justice / Sjors Ligthart, Utrecht University; Emma Dore-Horgan, VU University Amsterdam; Gerben Meynen, Utrecht University. - 1 online resource. - Law and the cognitive sciences . - Law and the cognitive sciences. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Recent developments in the cognitive sciences, particularly the emergence of neurotechnologies and their potential applications in a variety of contexts, have prompted a debate on what freedoms and rights people have in relation to their brains and minds. Lawyers and philosophers are especially interested in the possibilities offered by the neurosciences in conducting risk assessments and risk management. Minds, Freedoms and Rights deepens our understanding of these legal issues by investigating the human rights that relate to the mind and by exploring their implications for possible uses for neurotechnology for criminal rehabilitation or 'neurorehabilitation'. By harnessing and integrating both legal and ethical perspectives, the authors establish possible uses of neurorehabilitation that are cutting-edge yet simultaneously protect and respect human rights and freedoms. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
