Comments/contents:
Use of neuroscientific findings in the court proceedings!
Brain-based argumentation and acting in legal proceedings!
This seminar shows students how to use neuroscientific findings in court proceedings.
It shows how the perception and processing of information works in the brain and how decisions and decision-making processes are made.
It deals with both the sources of error in perception and information processing, as well as the possibilities of influencing the brain processes.
Finally, the resulting consequences, and in particular the question of whether the will or actions are determined, are discussed.
Among other things, the following questions will be answered: What effects do the perceptual components have on the negotiation? How should a brief be constructed to effectively provide information and arguments?
How does our brain work when filling in indefinite legal terms and what significance does this have for jurisdiction? What is the reason for misunderstandings, false perceptions and memory gaps in the witness hearing? Why are lies not detected?
How important is the personality of the parties for the course of the trial and the ruling decision? What effects do the findings of brain research have on your communication strategies?
Today we know that there are no purely rational decisions. Our emotions and our personality have a big impact on our decisions. How does this interaction work and which sources of error are there? The focus of this seminar is the specific application of the findings of brain research in legal proceedings.
In order to receive an evidence of achievement, a compulsory attendance throughout the seminar as well as a learning journal are required.
