Dinner Table Discussion

Interrogational Neuroimaging: Ethics, Promises and Perils

Jonathan Marks

The discussion will explore the actual and anticipated use of an array of neuroimaging technologies to assist in the interrogation of terror suspects. The neurobehavioral models that inform the use of such technologies will be discussed, as will the limitations of those models, and practical concerns about sensitivity and specificity.

Jonathan H. Marks is associate professor of bioethics, humanities and law at the Pennsylvania State University. He is also a barrister and founding member of Matrix Chambers, London.
