BRAIN FINGER PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Brain fingerprinting is a scientific technique to determine whether or not specific information is stored in an individual's brain.
Brain fingerprinting was invented by Lawrence Farwell
It’s a patented technique of proven accuracy in us government tests.
It has a record of 100% accuracy.
MORE ABOUT BRAIN FINGER PRINTING TECHNOLOGY!!
Brain fingerprinting identifies the perpetrator of a crime accurately and scientifically by measuring brain-wave responses to crime-relevant words or pictures presented on a computer screen.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When a crime is committed, a record is stored in the brain of the perpetrator.
Relevant words, pictures or sounds are presented to a subject by a computer in a series with stimuli
The brainwave responses is measured using a patented headband equipped with EEG sensors.
P300- specific, measurable brain response emitted by the brain of a subject who has the relevant information stored in his brain is collected!
WHAT IS MERMER
A MERMER is a part of the brainwave observed in response to familiar information.
When the brain recognizes something, neurons are fired synchronously, eliciting characteristic changes in brain activity.
It is these changes, that investigators look for when trying to determine whether someone recognizes a particular piece of information.
When a person is exposed to a information, there is increase in neuron activity which results in an increase in voltage
Typically within 300–1000msec after the stimulus.
That response with increase in voltage is known as P300
WHAT IS MERMER
However, the P300 has only a 87.5% success rate in revealing the presence of relevant information in one’s brain.
But Farwell’s test is based on the discovery that the P300 is only a subcomponent of a more complicated response called a MERMER.
The MERMER includes the P300 and another longer latency, electrically negative subcomponent with a latency of up to two seconds post-stimulus
MERMER METHODOLGY
MERMER incorporates following procedure:
A sequence of words, phrases, or pictures is presented on a video monitor to the subject, wearing a special headband designed for detecting the brain wave responses.
Three types of stimuli are presented:
1.Target
2. Irrelevant
3. Probe
TARGET : The target stimuli are made relevant and noteworthy to all subjects.
IRRELEVANT : These have no relation to the situation under investigation.
PROBES : Probes are the stimuli that are relevant to the situation under investigation.
A subject lacking specific information relevant to the situation under investigation recognizes only two types of stimuli: targets & irrelevants.
A subject with specific information relevant to the situation under investigation, however, recognizes all three types of stimuli: targets irrelevants & probes.
A suspect is tested by looking at three kinds of information represented by different colored lines:
Red: Information the suspect is expected to know(target)
Green: Information not known to suspect(irrelevant)
Blue: Information of the crime that only perpetrator would know(probe)

INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED
Personal computer
A data acquisition board
A graphics card for driving two monitors from one PC
A four-channel EEG amplifier system
Software developed by the brain fingerprinting laboratories for data acquisition and analysis.
COMPARISONS WITH OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
Fingerprints and DNA are available in only 1% of crimes. The brain and the evidence recorded in it are always there.
No questions are asked and no answers are given during Farwell Brain Fingerprinting.
Brain Fingerprinting Technology depends only on brain information processing, it does not depend on the emotional response of the subject.
APPLICATIONS
ADVERTISING
What specific information do people retain from advertising?
What specific elements in an ad campaign have the most impact?
How effective is the product branding strategy?
COUNTER TERRORISM
Aid in determining who has participated in terrorist acts, directly or indirectly.
Help to identify people who have knowledge or training in banking, finance or communications and who are associated with terrorist teams and acts.
MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
With early diagnosis, the progression of Alzheimer's symptoms can often be delayed through medications and dietary and lifestyle changes.
Using the very precise measurements of cognitive functioning available with this technology, pharmaceutical companies will be able to determine more quickly the effects of their new medications.
ADVANTAGES
Identify criminals quickly and scientifically
Record of 100% accuracy
Identify terrorists and members of gangs, criminal and intelligence organizations
Reduce expenditure of money and other resources in law enforcement
Reduce evasion of justice.
DISADVANTAGES
Not applicable for general screening.
It does not indicate intent of the crime.
Takes a fair amount of time to set up and conduct properly .
Difficult to distinguish the criminal and a witness who saw all the criminal activity happen.
CONCLUSION
Brain fingerprinting is a revolutionary new scientific technology for solving crimes, identifying perpetrator and exonerating innocent suspects.
The technology fulfills an urgent need for governments, law enforcement agencies, corporations, investigators, crime victims.
If research determines that brain MERMER testing is reliable enough that it could be introduced as evidence in court, it may be the major criminal investigative tool of the future.
