Welcome to the second episode of our Science Policy mini-series, where we interview Kathleen Carmichael. Kathleen participated in last year's Science Policy Paper competition with her paper, 'Revealing Injured Minds: Harnessing Cutting-Edge Neuroimaging for Enhanced Brain Injury Claim Validity'. We discuss the different issues she touches upon in her work, such as the challenges that come with the potential use of neuroimaging measures in the courtroom. These include but are not limited to education, privacy, and accessibility.
