Forensic psychology bridges psychology, neuroscience, and the legal system, focusing on how mental processes and behavior intersect with criminal justice. It applies psychological principles to assess competency, responsibility, and intent, providing crucial insights into criminal behavior, witness reliability, and rehabilitation.

The Forensic Psychology session explores cognitive, emotional, and neurobiological factors that drive deviant or criminal actions. Researchers investigate how brain abnormalities, trauma, and psychiatric conditions influence decision-making and aggression. Functional MRI, EEG, and psychophysiological testing are increasingly used to evaluate moral reasoning and impulse control.

At the Forensic Psychology Conference, experts discuss contemporary challenges in evaluating mental state, malingering, and risk assessment. Sessions also address the neuroscience of morality, eyewitness memory accuracy, and applications of AI in legal forensics. Case studies demonstrate how neuroscience evidence is transforming courtroom testimony and policy development.

This session brings together psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and legal professionals exploring how science informs justice. It also highlights ethical boundaries in using neuroimaging to infer guilt or intent.

Insights from Neuroethics and Society continue to shape forensic psychology by balancing technological progress with human rights and legal fairness.
