O.k. I usually know whats going on in the world but how come I never heard of this. Heres a brief description of how it works.
6. How Brain Fingerprinting works
Farwell Brain Fingerprinting works as follows. Words or pictures relevant to a crime are flashed on a computer screen, along with other, irrelevant
words or pictures. Electrical brain responses are measured non-invasively through a patented headband equipped with sensors. Dr. Farwell has
discovered that a specific brain-wave response called a MERMER (memory and encoding related multifaceted electroencephalographic response) is elicited
when the brain processes noteworthy information it recognizes. Thus, when details of the crime that only the perpetrator would know are presented, a
MERMER is emitted by the brain of a perpetrator, but not by the brain of an innocent suspect. In Farwell Brain Fingerprinting, a computer analyzes the
brain response to detect the MERMER, and thus determines scientifically whether or not the specific crime-relevant information is stored in the brain
of the suspect.

This is like a lie detector that is 100% accurate. Just think of the possibilities of using this for interrogations on suspects. Think of using this
on terrorists. What about the constitutional aspects of this. You have the right to plead the fith but what if they use this. What do you all
think.
