BRAIN FINGERPRINTING

BRAIN FINGERPRINTING

   Brain fingerprintingis a technology that is invented for investigation purpose.  Brain fingerprinting is a proposed investigative technique that measures recognition of familiar stimuli by measurintg electrical brain wave responses to words, phrases of pictures that are presented on a computer screen.

   Brain fingerprintinis one of the efficient investigative technology, developed in the U.S.A.  It was invented by Dr. Lawrence A. Farwall.

   Brain fingerprintingis based on finding that the brain generates a unique brain wave pattern when a person encounters a familiar stimulus.  Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging in lie detection derives from studies suggesting that persons asked to lie show different patterns of brain activity than they do when truthful.

   Brain fingerprintingis designed to determine whether an individual recognizes specific information related to an event or activity by measuring brain wave responses to words, phrases, or pictures.

   The personto be tested wears a special headband/helmet with electronic sensors that measure the Electro Encephalo Graphy (EEG) signals from several locations on the scalp.  The testee is presented with a series of relevant and irrelevant words & pictures. The brain responses to these two types of stimuli allow the testor to determine if the measured brain response.

  There are fourstages to Farwell Brain fingerprinting, which are similar to steps in fingerprinting and DNA fingerprinting. 1. Investigation. 2. Interview of subject. 3. Scientific testing. 4. Adjudication of guilt or innocence.

   BFP matchesinformational evidence from the crime scene with evidence stored in the brain rather then physical.  Fingerprints and DNA are not available in all occasions. The brain is always there, planning, executing and recording the suspect’s actions.

   It isfundamentally different from polygraph test, it doesn’t needs any verbal response.  It doesn’t needs any emotional sign from person.

   This technologycan be applied only in places where the investigators have sufficient amount of specific information about an event or activity.
• 14.
   Brain fingerprintinghas proven 100% accurate in over 120 tests, including tests on FBI agents, tests for a US intelligence agency and for the US Navy, and tests on real life situation including actual crimes.

   The technologyfulfills an urgent need for governments, law enforcement agencies, investigators, crime victims, and falsely accused innocent suspects with a record of 100% accuracy.
