Gazzaniga is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California in Santa Barbara, and director of the Law and Neuroscience Project.

In the 66-minute interview, he discusses, among other things, the use and misuse of neuroimaging data in the courtroom, the ethics of cognitive enhancement, and the pioneering studies of split brain patients that he carried out with Roger Sperry in the 1960s.
