This is Your Brain on Trial

Published: Aug. 31, 2022, 8 a.m.

Imagine reading or watching\xa0The Minority Report\xa0and thinking of that as a model for the criminal justice system. Well, plenty of forensic types are doing just that. Can you figure out if you are a criminal by scanning your brain? On this episode of\xa0Darts and Letters, guest-host Jay Cockburn and our guests explore the study of the criminal mind, from the history of madness, to spotty personality tests, to the emerging neuroscientific frontier.\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-SUPPORT THE SHOW\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-\nYou can support the show for free by following or subscribing on\xa0Spotify,\xa0Apple Podcasts, or whichever app you use.
