BRAIN FINGERPRINTING
Introduction
* Brain Fingerprinting was invented by Dr. Lawrence A Farwell.
* “Brain Fingerprinting “ is a computer-based test that is designed to discover, document, and provide evidence of guilty knowledge regarding crimes, and identify members of dormant terrorist cells.
* Brain fingerprinting is a 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.
Working Principle
* The entire Brain Fingerprinting system is under computer control, including presentation of the stimuli, recording of electrical brain activity, a mathematical data analysis algorithm that compares the responses to the three types of stimuli and produces a determination of “information present” or “information absent”, and a statistical confidence level for this determination
* How the technology works?
* When someone commits a crime, his brain records it has a memory.
* Brain fingerprinting seeks to reveal that memory, by showing the suspect evidence taken from the crime scene.
* A head band with sensors is placed on the subject.
* A series of pictures or words is flashed on the screen
Working principle(Cont.)
* The computer records the brain waves produced in response to what the subject sees.
* The brain responses called a P300 MERMER are recorded as a wave form.
* By analyzing MERMER (Memory and Encoding Related Multifaceted Electroencephalographic Response) the pattern of waves, Farwell can determine if the subject is recognizing what he is seeing.

Equipment
Statistical View
Scientific Procedure
* Brain fingerprinting incorporate the following procedure.
* A sequence of words or pictures is presented on a video monitor under computer control. Each stimulus appears for a fraction of second.
* Three types of stimuli are presented:
1) Targets,
2) Irrelevant and
3) Probes.
Scientific Procedure(Cont.)
* The TARGETS stimuli consist of information known to suspect about the crime which will establish a baseline response and elicit a MERMER.
* The IRRELEVANTS stimuli consist of information that has nothing to do with the crime, which will establish a baseline brain response for information that is not significant to the suspect in context of the crime. These IRRELEVANTS do not elicit a MER-MER.
* Some of the non-target stimuli are relevant to the situation being tested. These relevant stimuli are referred to as PROBES.
Equipment and Technology
* The brain fingerprinting system comprises
* A personal computer (Pentium iv, 1 GHz IBM PC)
* A data acquisition board.
* Two monitors
* A EEG(Electroencephalogram) amplifier
* Software for data acquisition
* Some electrodes .
Equipment and Technology(Cont.)
Computer controlled(Contd.)
* During the data collection, the stimuli are displayed to the subject on one monitor and the investigator views another monitor.
* Investigator gets the summary of the textual information and the wave form.
Benifits
* Identify criminal quickly and scientifically.
* Record of 100% accuracy.
* Confirm innocence, clear the falsely accused, and the falsely convicted.
* Provide immediate scientific result : Information present or Information absent i.e., the crime relevant information is not stored in the brain of the suspect within a few hours(same day).
* Reduce costs and complexities. Provide a straight forward, scientific method of distinguishing between perpetrators and innocent suspects.
* Access criminal evidence in the brain. Evidence of a crime is virtually always stored in the brain of the perpetrators; fingerprints and DNA though accurate and highly useful, can only be collected in approximately 1% of all criminal cases.
Conclusion
* Brain fingerprinting is a revolutionary new technology for solving crimes, with a record of 100% accuracy.
* The technology fulfills an urgent need for Governments , law enforcement agencies, corporations, and individuals in a trillion dollar world-wide market. The technology is fully developed and available for application in the field.
