The investigation of non-verbal behavior through Nonverbal Behavior Analysis Matrix in the forensic setting

The application of the neuroscience in forensic sciences has long opened up new scenarios within the legal world. While on one hand we tend to emphasize the benefits of the new research methods based on the recent neuroscience knowledge, on the other hand the use of these new tools has sparked a justified debate at the international level that touches all the areas that directly or indirectly approach forensics. Factors like lack of responsability or mitigation provided by science are part of those topics that, thanks to neurosciences, are back in the spotlight on a highly empirical basis. At the same time, these factors mentioned above influence our way to interpret reality. NBAM takes place within this debate as a new scientifically proven protocol and technologically supported, making way for an objective development of the neuroscience research.
