WHAT IS BRAINFINGER
PRINTING???

Brain Fingerprinting is a technology to

identify the perpetrator of a crime
accurately and scientifically by measuring
brain-wave responses.

Why Brain
Fingerprinting???
In a criminal act, there may or
may not be many kinds of peripheral
evidence, but the brain is always
there, planning, executing, and
recording the crime.

Historical back ground

1. Fingerprinting
2. DNA Fingerprinting

Origin of brain fingerprinting

Brain
Fingerprinting"
is
recent
advances in neuroscience do make it
possible to reveal a "brain fingerprint"
that can scientifically, objectively and
accurately match or connect a criminal
with a specific crime.

MERMER METHODOLOGY

The discovery of the brain MERMER

has made it possible to reveal, with
extremely
high
accuracy,
specific
information stored in the brain.

DEVICES USED
How brain waves are recorded?

Brain has continuous electrical

activity that can be recorded
Pairs of electrodes attached to
scalp form distinct channels
Weak signal in mv is sent
through amplifier
Continuous output recorded
via galvanometer.

BRAIN FINGERPRINTING

APPLICATIONS
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
US intelligence agency
US Navy
Field tests and criminal investigations
National Security Applications

CASE STUDIES
1. Mr. Harrington was accused
of the homicide of the
retired police captain Mr.
John Schweer.
2. J. B. Grinder, who had been
a suspect in an unsolved
murder case for 15 years.

INFORMATION ABSENT
CASE
STUDY:HARRINGTON

Red: information the suspect is expected to

know information not known to suspect
Green:

Blue: information of the crime that only

perpetrator would know

INFORMATION PRESENT
CASE STUDY:J. B.
Grinder

Advantages of Brain Fingerprinting.

Identify crime perpetrators quickly and
scientifically.
Record of 100% accuracy;.
Provide immediate Scientific Result:
Information Present or Information Absent.
Identify terrorists and members of gangs,
criminal and intelligence organizations.
Reduce expenditure of money and other
resources in law enforcement.

Disadvantages of Brain Fingerprinting.

1.Experts are required to collect evidences

crime scene .
2. Brain fingerprinting detects whether
information is present or not but it does
not detect how that information got
there.

Goal of brain fingerprinting

The goal of the Human Brain Research

Laboratory, Inc. is to implement Brain
Fingerprinting worldwide to strengthen
mankinds ability to discover the truth.

CONLUSION
Brain Fingerprinting technology
fulfills
an
urgent
need
for
governments and law enforcement
agencies.
