[...]... projects across states and the extensive exchange of data and samples make it necessary to speak proactively about the establishment of international standards or about the adjustment of standards that already exist The juridical publications that exist so far refer without exception to partial aspects of a single legal order or to the synopsis of chosen aspects valid in similar legal orders The volume at... that brain death is not the definite caesura that has so far been ascribed to this criterion on a regular basis – which might lead to substantial conflicts regarding, for example, the admissibility of postmortal organ transplantation While all of the fields mentioned concern aspects of neuroscientific research results and of corresponding applications, the assumed legal implications are already noticeable...

(VBM) is a neuroimaging analysis technique and has been developed to compare changes in gray matter between different groups of subjects For that purpose, high-resolution MRI scans are compared after segmentation and spatial normalization However, up to date, the relationship between gray matter concentration and MRI signal intensity is not yet clearly established as well as the mechanism and timing... access to multiple physiological parameters The high-speed data acquisition allows subsecond imaging of spatiotemporal changes of physiological processes which would otherwise not be accessible through other neuroimaging techniques.32 Its clinical applications are particularly functional brain33 and breast imaging,34 but also arthritic finger, muscle, and small animal imaging.35 Diffusion Tensor Imaging... the case, here, too, the devil is in the details; for instance, the question arises who is technically qualified to examine an incidental finding with a view to its medical relevance The legal aspects that have just been addressed can in part be clarified individually with respect to a particular legal order But already the broader employment of appropriate lie detection machines in a larger democratic... Electroencephalography (EEG) is an approach to record the electrical activity of the brain provoked by the firing of neurons Electrodes are attached to the scalp and connected to an electrical box that is in turn attached to an EEG machine The EEG machine picks up small electrical signs during a short period of time (20–40 min) and reproduces them as a record (as “brain waves”) on a paper or on a computer . class="bi x0 y0 w0 h0" alt="" International Neurolaw .
