 terms of: its connections with the study of mind, epistemology, language, and morality with a view to<br />
 increasing our understanding and/or providing a critique of legal ordering; its impact on the explanation<br />
 and justification of basic legal concepts, assumptions, institutions, rules and standards, procedures,<br />
 evidentiary frameworks, rights and/or remedies across legal fields; the role of law in responding to<br />
 emerging neurotechnologies and brain interventions; and the roles that brain imaging, neuroprosthetics,<br />
 other neurotechnologies, as well as related artificial intelligence (including neural network-based AI), may<br />
 play in law.</p>
