neuroscience and d.n.a. are different that way. interestingly, there is a lot of neuroscience collaborations that are happening with people outside of the neuroscientific field. it is still neuroscientists doing the decision-making. the quality of the science is different. >> definitely. >> as a result, the question of its appropriateness in the courtroom and whether or not we think that it's likely to follow the same fate and path that these so-called other sciences are, i think it's more likely to be like d.n.a. than it is to be like the forensic sciences which aren't really science to begin with. so i think we can take a little bit of comfort in having it in the courtroom, but also recognizing there is peer-reviewed literature that followed the scientific method. we can actually evaluate it in the courtroom. i agree with david, in order to do so, we need to increase the training of lawyers and judges and the general public in these fields so that people are critically able to evaluate the type of science that is introduced in th

neuroscience could change that. once we understand and have a better understanding of human behavior and we recognize that there is a much finer graduation that we can draw than this bright line, perhaps it will shift the line or start over. it's not all that consistent, inconsistent with the way to do things. >> i think it is inconsistent, so if you want an open debate, we have to open the debate. >> i would like to jump in at some point. >> go ahead. >> we have the two distributions. we have one distribution based on "free will or volitional control" which applies on the civil side and used to apply under the a.l.i. test and now we have a new distribution of being able to distinguish right from wrong. so now we have two completely different distributions that we're drawing that bright line on. >> competent versus volitional. we can decide that cognitive isn't sufficient, but it is the basis where we draw the line. sorry. >> ok. so to get back to the science, do you see how the research that you're doing and this i

for the first time, the supreme court sided adolescents -- cited adolescent neuroscience. a 12-year-old brain develops. you will watch its start to mature until you hit about 24 or 25. for those of you who are parents, you do not need a scan. for those of us who went to adolescence, we know it was a time of poor decision making. the supreme court used the picture of the brain in order to make the decision. there is this nice development over time that is associated with changes in composition and changes in how you process the world and make decisions. ok. now you have another client named george. he is a 55-year-old white male offender. he has a history of being in and out of jail. his iq is very low. george has a very low iq, they might have to refer to him as being retarded. he has arrested for murder and the prosecution is seeking the death penalty. the supreme court said you are not allowed for individuals with low iqs. prosecution says the iq is 72, high enough to execute. is there anything that neuroscience can do about george? i am just kidding, this is george. [la

that is really the big question in cognitive neuroscience. it is not at all sounds are music.e do not put on records of chickens clucking, waterfalls falling, some of us do, but the real music come from this arrangement of organized sound we call music. i have to say, we do not really know. the closest we have got is music appears to be metaphorical for movement and instruments sometimes sound like a mother singing, crying. and the only thing we know for sure is that music is activating a lot of regions in the brain. i think the best explanation that i will propose now, tentatively, as it has to do with expectation and release. when we hear a piece of music, because it has a pulse, we almost always know when the next bibelot be, but we do not know what it will be. the job of the composer is to reward us by playing what we expect, but violating those expectations just often enough of the time to keep us interested. when the composer can violate those expectations in an interesting way and give us a resolution that we would have never predicted, then they have got us for life. t

[applause] >> so what i showed you today was to give you that exact what is neuroscience doing in the legal is system and so that person of the person with the tumor, you could all see that and so can a radiologist. but the else that we do know of those images. no radiologist can just see by looking at them. we are so sensitive to individual differences in i.q., in age, in all of these different availables, psychopathy scores, whatever it is, we can develop beautiful pictures of these things. so the question is, how is the legal system going to deal with all of these different, you know, images and other types of things that we can now tell you about your brain and how is that going to change things? so i tend to view, you know, individuals who have brain differences for whatever reason worthy of developing better treatments for them that can help to remediate those problems. as psychologists, we study abnormal behavior. anita shows distribution, most of us in here. you get anybody out here who is externalizing or anyone out here who is internalizing, as a psychologist, we try to brin

i will just give you one example of a finding from neuroscience. we're beginning to understand how the brain trades off the speed of a decision against the accuracy. so for example, eric and i might be observing the same fact but we might reach different decisions because i might be pretty quick. and eric might be slower and more deliberative. eric might make the better decision. i think that is probably correct. >> go on. >> the idea is that we're understanding the speed accuracy trade-off as a level of neuromechanism, okay. but it's bearing on what makes one decision maker different than other. one may be more impulsive. or more methodical, or perhaps paralyzed by indecisiveness. and it's at the level that this is at the level of neuromechanism that we can begin to get a handle on that. now what does that mean? it doesn't mean that-- that we can say with the neurons what someone is going to doment it doesn't mean that we can say, using neurophysiology whether someone has lied or told the truth. we can't tell whether someone's guilty or innocent a

next to this school we have the new neuroscience institute.ding with 140,000 square feet, four floors, laboratories, computer centers, imaging center, everything that will allow us to work at the edge of neuroscience, and neuroengineering. and we want to close the triangle with womens hospital. we created an entire chain that goes from pre-natal care all the way to research. at the level of any brain research institute in the world. >> i do all that i do here in brazil as a volunteer. as a private-public partnership, so part of the money is private, part of the money comes from the federal government in brazil. the key issue is for us to demonstrate that science can be such a powerful drive for changing the human being and economic conditions in the region this has to become a strategic investment for brazil in this part of the country and that's what's happening. all right, give me a spot. you know my motto: safety first. they could be dangerous. i think we should call animal control. animal control? psh. to be safe... don't worry. i got this

cognitive neuroscience is in its industry here try to sort of music. -- in fancy here trying to sortusic. there is a well-known pleasure center in the brain. this is the same center, when you hook an electrode up to it, rats will keep pressing a button to stimulate it. they will give up food and sex to keep pressing stimulation to this area. it is the same error that is activated when compulsive gamblers are winning a bet or when drug addicts get their drug of choice. it modulates the brain's levels of dopamine my colleagues from stanford and i show that when you listen to music to like, found pleasurable, that eric is activated and it is modulating dopamine. a student of mine showed, she was able to get her hand on a radioactive tag for dopamine, so that we could fall in people's brains. dopamine was increased when people listen to pleasurable music. dopamine is involved, as many of the brands chemicals are, in many things, but it is also the pleasure hormone, the feel-good hormone. i am not saying it feels like winning a bet or taking a drug or having sex, but invoked the same syst

she got a phd. in neuroscience or something.am. how about the girl from the wonder years? gentlemen, i believe i've found the solution to all our problems. we can't ask leslie winkle. why? because you slept together and when she was done with you she discarded you like last night's chutney? yes. sometimes you've got to take one for the team. yeah, sack up, dude. fine. here i go, taking one for the team... in the sack. hey, leslie. hi, guys. so, leslie, i have a question for you and it might be a little awkward, you know, given that i... hit that thang. leonard, there is no reason to feel uncomfortable just because we've seen each other's faces and naked bodies contorted in the sweet agony of coitus. there's not? gee, 'cause it sure sounds like there should be. rest assured that any aspects of our sexual relationship regarding your preferences your idiosyncrasies, your performance are still protected by the inherent confidentiality of the bedroom. that's all very comforting but if it's okay i'd like to get on to my question now.

the author of the "this is your brain on music. " i am a professor of psychology and behavioral neuroscience. i am delighted to introduce you to my friend, one of my famous -- favorite guitarists and musicians. he discovered the guitar at a young age. he has played at notable vilnius such as the -- notable venues such as montrose and carnegie hall. >> i would like to start by saying that in the last 15 or 20 years of my research, one thing i found most surprising as a musician myself in exploring music and the brain is how -- discovering where it is that music is. i always imagined as a player that the music was in my fingers. now i know is in the brain. it is a neuro-representation of the figures. music is in every part of the brain that we have mapped. there is no part of the brain that does not have something to do with music. i found that very surprising. i wondered if you find that surprising as a player and what your own intuitions were coming into it. >> i think my intuition is that music is something that gets received in some sense or another, like radio, like something you pick up.

so i spent some time in courses on neuroscience and computational neuroscience and it seemed clear to me that many of the innovations were going to be happening in the development 6 novel sensors to generate more data about the brain. and in novel software tools and statistical techniques. >> rose: "time" magazine had a big thing recently on big ideas and talked about sensors, health sensors. give us insight into that application about technology and our understanding of the way the human body functions. >> sure, so if for example i will give an experience from my past. so i had an issue in which i discovered there is a lump in my chest. i was like that's change strange. actually my wife saw it first so i went into the doctor's office. and the doctor he kind of put his hands on my chest and felt around. he said i think you have this but see this other guy. i went to that doctor and he put his hands on my chest and said i think you have this. i thought don't you want to use any sort of measurement device to, you know, see what is in my body or some how quantify what my body, what is ha

[laughter] that economics is not neuroscience, given how the united states congress understands economicsnot does not bode well for their economic iq. years ago, i was at my college roommates wedding. i was talking with the groom's father who had not seen in several years. he was not familiar with the nonprofit group where i worked. have that elevator speech but described the work of my organization, so i reverted to my d.c. speak. i said, it is a think thank. i expected his eyes to open with profound clarity and his head to non-with understanding. every body knows what a think tank is. after a two-second pause, he reared his head back and laughed. for the next 40 hours, even while we stood at the front of the church during the ceremony, he would glance at me, shake shake his head, mumble and laugh and laugh. this is the first realization in my career that i would never be understood by those outside the beltway. foruld be doomed conversations repeated with family members saying, so, what do you do again? we represent think tanks that we believe are part of the to promotingting principles

right now we're in a neuroscience, neurobiology age so we worry about the brains of young children but each generation brings worry that this is not childhood as we know it and i think we need to get past that phase because these things are ubiquitous, they're very different from television. they're in your purse, on the kitchen table, they're really a part of our lives in the way no other technology has been so i think we just need to accept that young children can do interesting things with this technology. >> suarez: did you come away from your reporting with any rules from the road? some ways to discern between good screen time and bad screen time in the final analysis? >> yes, absolutely. i talk about some apps that i think good and why. largely this is a question of your individual child. i actually have different rules for different children. i have one child who's prone to sort of doing and watching and being engaged way too much so i put strict time limits on him. but my other two kids i let them explore quite a bit and i actually did an interesting experiment with my youngest

even while studying neuroscience at the university of pittsburgh. he has been clean and sober for the past two years now. >>> and a few hours from now, pope francis will celebrate his first good friday service as leader of the catholic church. part of holy thursday mass, he washed the feet of juvenile niles at a youth detention center, the move mirrored jesus washing his disciples' feet and keeping with this pope's emphasis on humility. >>> and the obama administration is expecting to unveil a plan calling for cleaner gasoline. the new rules would reduce sulf sulfur, gas, and cut back smog by 30%. critics say it would also drive up gas prices. >>> this morning, north korea claims rockets are aimed at u.s. military bases in hawaii, guam, south korea and even the u.s. mainland. it is the most recent threat from north korea's kim jong-un. this photo showing him meeting with the military and planning attacks. north korea says it's a response from the u.s. flying bomber planes over south korea yesterday as part of a joint military exercise. pentagon offi

that project would do for neuroscience what the human genome project did for genetics, but he worries if the united states is unable to fund projects like these that we will lose our place in scientific discoveries to countries like china, england or israel. the cuts are 8.2% which is equivalent to the cut of $2.5 billion. this could result in the loss of 33,000 research-related jobs in 2013 and a $.5 billion decrease in economic activity. i've also explained how devastating the sequester is to our military. just yesterday, an admiral testified at the house armed services committee about how our best and brightest who we need for cyberdefense and who are interested in cyberdefense are worried about pursuing their careers here because they don't know if they can count on congress to provide the support. and if san diego were almost one -- where almost one in four jobs are defense-related and 25% of the defense contractors are small businesses, ship shipbuilding and maintenance contracts have been canceled. nationwide, manufacturing companies that rely on defense, on defense funding cou
