Brain Fingerprinting Technology: A Novel Approach to Deception Detection and Memory Assessment
Polygraphs and other such methods of detection have been in practice for a long time and have been widely regarded as unreliable and easily circumventable by offenders. This paper examines BFT as more effective and reliable than the previously used techniques for identifying concealed information. The guilty knowledge, innocent knowledge, and control tests were performed using 200 participants in this investigation, with the clientele being blinded to the procedures followed in the test. P300-MERMER responses were recorded through high-density EEG to the crime-related and unrelated words and stimuli that volunteers were administered through a computerized test. The results show that the suggested BFT achieved a success rate of almost 98%. Again, it was determined that an ABI score of at least 5% was substantially superior to polygraph tests (76.3% accuracy) in terms of identifying the presence of crime-relevant information.Additionally, there were no false positive or negative results for the BFT in the given study, compared to 13.5%, and 10.2% for polygraphs. BFT also negated potential cases of circumvention, the subject’s attempts to consciously deceive the polygraph through mental strategies.Thus, we are able to affirm the hypothesis that brain fingerprinting technology is a new breakthrough in the field of deception detection as well as memory interrogation. Owing to its remarkable precision, limited error rates, and resilience to countermeasures, it appears to have the potential to transform forensic inquiries, security evaluations, and clinical memory testing.
