Table of contents 3. Introduction Brain fingerprinting: technique
used to determine scientifically what information is, or is not
stored in a particular brain Not a measure of guilt or innocence
Measures the response to visual or audio stimulus It uses p300
mermer. 4. History Invented By Dr. Lawrence A. Farwell in august
1999. Its a patented technique of proven accuracy in US government
tests. It has a record of 100% Accuracy. 5. 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. 6. 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.
7. Information is absent Information is present 8. personal

monitors from one PC a four-channel EEG amplifier system software
developed by the Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories for data
acquisition and analysis. 9. Advertising National security Medical

Testing ,etc. 10. 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. 11. 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 12.
National security Medical diagnosis Advertising Criminal justice
Pros Safer US Stop terrorists before they attack Can save thousands
of lives by early detection Focus ad campaigns specifically on what
works Puts criminals in jail Reduces number of false accusations
Cons Infringement of privacy for citizens Can rely on racial
profiling Time consuming for patients who need constant monitoring
Constant testing for new products can become time consuming and
expensive Must find random people to use as test subjects
Possibility of inaccuracy Can be relied on too heavily 13.
