(2) We surveyed about laypersons' knowledge and prejudice of brain science and brain imaging technology.
(3) We did literature search concerning the present situation of the arguments on legal, neuropsychological and neuroethical problems.
(4) We did a psychological experiment which clarifies psychological effect of neuroimaging on attribution of responsibility.
