How the Internet will save civilization

David's iPad app "Why the Net Matters, or Six Ways to Avert the Collapse of Civilization" was recently called a "superbook" by the New York Times Magazine. For a taste of the argument, read David's article in WIRED or watch a video of his talk at the Long Now Foundation. Don't have an iPad? The manuscript is now available as an eBook.

The Brain and the Law

Here's a talk I delivered at the Royal Society for the Arts in London, entitled "The Brain and the Law".

Interested in the intersection of the brain and the legal system?  I direct Baylor College of Medicine's Initiative on Neuroscience and Law, which addresses how modern neuroscience will change our view of criminal behavior, punishment, rehabilitation, incentive structuring, and policy making.  For readings and more information, please see NeuLaw.org.

Terrific video, Dr. Eagleman! Thanks for posting this. It really opened my eyes to a contact point between fields that I had not thought about before.

I too want to change our current law policies. I work with Drug Policy Alliance hoping to change people's views on drug use and abuse. Thank you for your work
