Dr. Anthony Wagner presents Detecting Memories Using Brain Imaging: Implications for Law and Neuroscience at the Colloquium on Law, Neuroscience, and Criminal Justice on March 14 -- 15, 2013 in Palo Alto, California. Dr. Wagner is a Professor of Psychology, Director of the Stanford Memory Lab, and Associate Director of the Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging Center at Stanford University. The colloquium was sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience and co-sponsored by the Federal Judicial Center, Vanderbilt Law School, Stanford Center for Law and the Biosciences, and the Gruter Institute for Law and Behavioral Research.

Description and Learning Objectives: Description and Learning Objectives: This session introduces the Research Network's research on memory detection using fMRI, and explore the legal implications of detection of memories and lies. Specific learning objectives include:

• Introduction to the neuroscience of memory detection and lie detection.

• Introduction to the work of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience Working Group Deception & Recognition, which is systematically assessing the feasibility of using fMRI to identify and characterize the neural processes associated with lying or remembering in legally relevant contexts.
