My next project in cognitive neuroscience would have been studying how the brain processes different types of emotional mental imagery. I did collect some pilot fMRI data where participants imagined different scenarios while we recorded their brain activity. I never did anything with these data, but I did publish a paper describing the statistical process I used to create that mental imagery stimuli. Matthew J. Facciani, “Developing Affective Mental Imagery Stimuli with Multidimensional Scaling,” Quantitative Methods for Psychology 11, no. 2 (2015): 113–25, https://doi.org/10.20982/tqmp.11.2.p113.

16. There continues to be a lack of evidence demonstrably proving fetal pain at twenty weeks. However, this is a complex topic.
Research published after my scientific testimony debates the importance of a developed cortex and thalamocortical tracts to experience a form of fetal pain without the capacity for selfreflection. See Stuart Derbyshire and John C. Bockmann, “Reconsidering Fetal Pain,” Journal of Medical Ethics 46, no. 1 (2020): 3–6. Even with this uncertainty, it is problematic to create laws that are founded on a position that lacks scientific evidence, especially when they directly impact vulnerable people. As I have mentioned in this introduction, the most perplexing and aggravating aspect of my experience was how quickly research from peer-reviewed scientific articles was dismissed while an extremely biased documentary from the 1980s was viewed as legitimate evidence.

40. I considered including more details about the data surrounding the COVID-19 origin, but I didn’t want to stray too far from the main points of the chapter. While the expert consensus leaned toward zoonotic origins, the uncertainty in the data wasn’t communicated well enough by some media figures and science journalists. As I discuss in chapter 5, admitting uncertainty is good practice for both public health officials and scientists. 41.

I made an effort to approach these topics with as much nuance as I could, and it may not matter for some individuals. It’s so unfortunate that these scientific topics have become so politicized.
