초록

Men have always been curious about human behavior and brain which controls the behavior. The supposition that brain could control human behavior is not just a supposition anymore, and brain science is continuously developing to prove that supposition. With the development, men are now able to take photos of brain structure and brain response. The advancement of brain technology such as PET scan, fMRI, MRI influenced research on brain. Before this technological advancement, scientists relied on animal experiment or computer modeling for brain study. However, the problem is that the court does not accept offender’s brain status at the time of crime as evidence. The special situation called ‘mental disorder’ is still maintained, and insane peoples’ impulsive mentality and brain immaturity maintain after or before the crime. Thus, we have to say that brain images taken before the crime and after the crime does not have great influence to change decision on responsibility. So, we have to establish a consistent standard in accepting brain science evidence in a court.
