I'll be speaking on Thursday evening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival. My contribution is entitled, "The Neuroethics of Lie Detection." Here's some more information from the BAM website:
Part of the 2011 Next Wave Festival and Between the Lines

From financial disasters precipitated by the smartest guys in very big rooms to university classes where 87 percent of students consider themselves above average, we seem to be pretty convinced of our intelligence, whatever the facts may tell us. Between the Lines salutes the other 13 percent and asks how we think about thinking in both our boardrooms and our bedrooms, examining how our self-confidence and knowledge can sometimes lead us forward while leading others into trouble.
