Introduction:
Brain Fingerprinting is a controversial proposed investigative technique that measures recognition of familiar stimuli by measuring electrical brain wave responses to words, phrases, or pictures that are presented on a computer screen. Brain fingerprinting
was invented by Lawrence Farwell.
Brain fingerprinting:
Brain Fingerprinting is designed to determine whether an individual recognizes specific information related to an event or activity by measuring electrical brain wave responses to words, phrases, or pictures presented on a computer screen.
The technique can be applied only in situations where investigators have a sufficient amount of specific information about an event or activity that would be known only to the perpetrator and investigator.
Techniques:
The technique uses the well known fact that an electrical signal known as P300 is emitted from an individual's brain approximately 300 milliseconds after it is confronted with a stimulus of special significance, e.g. a rare vs. a common stimuls or a stimulas the proband is asked to count.The novel interpretation in brain fingerprinting is to look for P300 as response to stimuli related to the crime in question e.g., a murder weapon or a victim's face. Because it is based on EEG signals, the system does not require the testee to issue verbal responses to questions or stimuli.
Advatages:
ADMISSIBILITY OF BRAIN FINGERPRINTING IN COURT:
Brain Fingerprinting has been thoroughly and scientifically tested.
The theory and application of Brain Fingerprinting have been subject to peer review and publication.
The rate of error is extremely low -- virtually nonexistent -- and clear standards governing
Scientific techniques of operation of the technology have been established and published.
Brain Fingerprinting is non-invasive and non- testimonial.
Record of 100% accuracy
Conclusion:
Brain Fingerprinting is a revolutionary new scientific technology for solving crimes, identifying perpetrators, and exonerating innocent suspects, with a record of 100% accuracy in research with US government agencies, actual criminal cases, and other applications.
