"A critical examination of psychopathy research and the discriminatory use of the disorder in the criminal justice system"--

Why our fascination with psychopaths is scientifically wrongheaded, and how the criminal justice system has misused the controversial science of psychopathy. Psychopathy is a widely acknowledged personality disorder associated with callous unemotional traits and antisocial behaviors. Psychopathic persons are described as dangerous predators incapable of empathy and moral intuition, and while they are believed to make up only around 1 percent of the general population, forensic experts claim they are disproportionately responsible for the majority of violent crimes. Today, psychopathy assessments are being widely used in the legal system to inform a variety of judicial decisions. In Psychopathy Unmasked, Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen provides a critical rebuttal of psychopathy and its legal use, scrutinizing central claims about the diagnosis that have traditionally served to justify its role in the criminal justice system. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of offenders undergo a psychopathy assessment each year in North America. This book surveys and discusses contemporary developments in psychopathy research where studies have consistently shown that psychopathic persons, contrary to mainstream beliefs, are not meaningfully more dangerous than, or psychologically different from, ordinary non-psychopathic criminals. Based on these disqualifying findings, Larsen argues that we should end the use of psychopathy assessments in the legal system.

The Rise and Fall of a Dangerous Diagnosis

'Excellent' - Geoffrey Hinton, the 'godfather of AI' and 2024 Nobel Laureate in Physics 'An indispensable guide to both ourselves and the coming age of AI' - Mustafa Suleyman, bestselling co-author of The Coming Wave How does our consciousness - our ability to think, feel and act - actually work? How is this human intelligence different from artificial intelligence? And as we stand on the brink of a new era of machine intelligence, how are these realms of intelligence beginning to intersect? In The Emergent Mind, leading scientists Gaurav Suri and Jay McClelland offer a groundbreaking new perspective on these urgent questions. By examining the concept of emergence - where complex systems arise from the interaction of simple elements - they reveal how mind-like abilities form in both human intelligence and AI. Drawing on the foundational idea of neural networks, a framework inspired by the human brain and now the bedrock of modern AI, this insightful book offers a clear and accessible path to understanding how intelligence takes shape. The Emergent Mind provides a fascinating account of how we reach decisions, why we change our minds, and how we are affected by context and experience. they are showing how a data-driven neural network can create thoughts, emotions and ideas - a mind - whether in humans or machines. Written by experts at the forefront of cognitive science and AI, The Emergent Mind is an essential read for anyone captivated by the mysteries of human intelligence or the transformative rise of AI. 'Fascinating' - Lisa Feldman Barrett, author of How Emotions Are Made 'Deeply stimulating and disarmingly accessible' - Robert Sapolsky, author of Determined 'Lucid, invaluable' - Steven Pinker, author of Rationality

The Emergent Mind

This&nbsp;accessibly-written textbook introduces and explains the central research areas and core topics of neurolinguistics. It presents fundamental findings, relevant theories and models as well as current research methods for investigating the processing of language in the brain. The subjects covered range from psycholinguistics, brain imaging and clinical linguistics to experimental neurolinguistics. Structured into 14 clear and logical learning units, this textbook will be an invaluable resource for courses in linguistics, cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience.Horst M. Müller is Professor (ret.) and Head of the Experimental Neurolinguistics Group at Bielefeld University and Center of Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC), Germany. He holds degrees and PhDs in Neurobiology and Linguistics and is author/editor of numerous publications in both fields of research. Several research stays, e.g. at the University of California at San Diego, USA and the Center for Brain Research at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria.&nbsp;

How to Understand Yourself

From the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By, an exploration of the quest to use mathematics to describe the ways we think, from its origins three hundred years ago to the ideas behind modern AI systems and the ways in which they still differ from human minds.Everyone has a basic understanding of how the physical world works. We learn about physics and chemistry in school, letting us explain the world around us in terms of concepts like force, acceleration, and gravity-the Laws of Nature. But we don't have the same fluency with concepts needed to understand the world inside us-the Laws of Thought. While the story of how mathematics has been used to reveal the mysteries of the universe is familiar, the story of how it has been used to study the mind is not.There is no one better to tell that story than Tom Griffiths, the head of Princeton's AI Lab and a renowned expert in the field of cognitive science. In this groundbreaking book, he explains the three major approaches to formalizing thought-rules and symbols, neural networks, and probability and statistics-introducing each idea through the stories of the people behind it. As informed conversations about thought, language, and learning become ever more pressing in the age of AI, The Laws of Thought is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of technology.
