Abstract
This paper addresses the bioethical aspects related to not so recent advances in cognitive neuroscience; speciallythe implications that the introduction of neuroscientific evidence in the criminal justice process–for example the technique known as lie detector- can lead to. As we will see, the increasing development of neuroimaging has stoked concerns about the protection of individual autonomy, security and the overcoming of reductionist interpretations contrary to the dignity of people. Neuroethicsstudies are paying attention to those issues, which, although they began their journey in the late eighties of the last century, in recent years have experienced tremendous growth by addressing issues such as informed consent, privacy thought, or predictingthe future behavior based on moral principles that Bioethics has developed in recent decades.
