Abstract
Professor Tovino's (2007) paper is a welcome contribution to the emerging body of scholarship on the issues arising at the nexus of cognitive neuroscience (and neuroimaging in particular) and the law. It is a useful overview of the various ways in which neuroimaging might affect a wide array of legal questions. Though many of the issues that Tovino discusses are at present quite speculative (as she acknowledges), it is always wise to take advantage of the rare opportunity to reflect on the legal, ethical, and public policy implications of developments in biotechnology before they are upon us. In that spirit, I will suggest an additional area of the law that neuroimaging might touch in the distant future: the affirmative criminal defense of entrapment.
