Can neuroscience be harnessed to make public policies more effective and attractive? To influence health outcomes, such as rates of obesity and diabetes? To spur social good, such as better planning for retirement? These questions brought together a varied group of experts for "Public Policy and the Brain," a two-day Exploratory Seminar hosted by the Radcliffe Institute. In a seminar coorganized by Cass Sunstein of Harvard Law School and Tali Sharot of University College London, lawyers and economists met with psychologists and neuroscientists to discuss how brain science might help public policy.
