Introduction : The primary application of the brain computer interface is to map the brain signal of human being through

digital EEG. Basically the happened incidents in our life has to be recorded / stored into our mind. If someone required to know that incidents , it could be possible by applying a standard technique brain finger printing through digital electroencephalograph. Brain Fingerprinting technique used to determine mapped signal, 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. Actually this technology is based on the principle that the brain is central to all human acts. In a criminal act, there may or may not be many kinds of peripheral , but the brain is always with planning, executing, and recording crime. The fundamental difference between a true or and falsely accused, innocent person is that the perpetrator, having committed the crime, has the details of the crime stored in his brain, and the innocent suspect does not. Comparison with other technologies: Conventional fingerprinting and DNA match physical evidence from a crime scene with evidence on the person of the perpetrator. Similarly, Brain Fingerprinting matches informational evidence from the crime scene with evidence stored in the brain. Fingerprints and DNA are available in only 1% of crimes. The brain is always there, planning, executing, and recording the suspect's actions. The secrets of Brain Fingerprinting : Matching the happened incident at the crime scene with incidence in the brain .When a crime is committed, a record is stored in the brain of the perpetrator. Brain Fingerprinting provides a means to objectively and scientifically connect facts from the crime scene with incidence stored in the brain. Brain Fingerprinting measures electrical brain activity on computer / laptop screen regarding crime-investigation. when and only when , the things stored in the brain matches the happened things from the crime scene[3]. Thus, the guilty can be identified and the innocent can be cleared in an accurate, scientific, objective, non-invasive, non-stressful. A memory and encoding related multifaceted electroencephalographic response is elicited when an individual recognizes and processes an incoming stimulus that is significant or noteworthy[4]. The procedure used is similar to the Guilty Knowledge Test; a sequences/ combination of words, sounds, or pictures are presented via computer to the subject for a fraction of a second each. When an irrelevant stimulus is seen, it is insignificant and not noteworthy, and the electrode response is absent. The electrodes response occurs within a second after the stimulus presentation, and can be readily detected using EEG electrodes, amplifiers and a computerized signal-detection algorithm. MERMER methodology: Stimuli are of three types: 1) irrelevant stimuli that are irrelevant to the investigated situation and to the test subject, 2) target stimuli that are relevant to the investigated situation and are known to the subject, and 3) probe stimuli that are relevant to the investigated situation and that the subject denies knowing. Probes contain information that is known only to the perpetrator and investigators, and not to the general public or to an innocent suspect who was not at the scene of the crime. Before the test, the scientist identifies the targets to the subject, and makes sure that he/she knows these relevant stimuli. The scientist also makes sure that the subject does not know the probes for any reason unrelated to the crime, and that the subject denies knowing

the probes. These stimuli, Probes, are relevant to the test, and are significant to the subject, and will elicit a MERMER, signifying that the subject has understood that stimuli to be significant. An electrical signal known as P300 is emitted from an individual's brain beginning approximately 300 milliseconds after it is confronted with a stimulus of special significance, e.g. a rare vs. a common stimulus or a stimulus the subject is asked to count. The application of this in brain fingerprinting is to detect the P300 as a response to stimuli related to the crime or other investigated situation, e.g., a murder weapon, victim's face, or knowledge of the internal workings of a terrorist cell. Because it is based on EEG signals, the system does not require the subject to issue verbal responses to questions or stimuli. But a subject lacking this information in their brain, the response to Probe the indistinguishable stimulus. This response does not elicit a MERMER, indicating that the information is absent from their mind. Note that there does not have to be an emotional response of any kind to the stimuli- this test is entirely reliant upon recognition response to the stimuli.

How it works?? RED: Information the suspect is expected to know. GREEN: information not known to the suspect. BLUE: Information of the crime that only the perpetrator would know. NOT GUILTY: Blue and green lines closely correlate. GUILTY: Red and blue lines closely correlate. Phases of Brain Fingerprinting: Brain Fingerprinting works similarly, except that the happened incident collected both at the crime scene and on the person of the suspect (i.e., in the brain as revealed by electrical brain responses) is informational facts rather than physical happened incident[5]. There are four stages to Brain Fingerprinting as: 1.Crime Scene Collection: In this, an expert examines the crime scene and other incidents connected with the crime to identify the crime.

2. Brain Incidence Collection: This is done to determine whether or not the incidence from the crime scene matches evidence stored in the brain of the suspect. 3.Computer -Analysis : In this, the Brain Fingerprinting system makes a mathematical determination as to whether or not this specific incidence is stored in the brain, and computes a statistical confidence for that determination. This determination and statistical confidence constitute the Scientific Result of Brain Fingerprinting. 4. Result. There are two types of result as: a)Either "information present" the details of the crime are stored in the brain of the suspect. b) or "information absent" the details of the crime is not stored into brain of the suspect . Case studies: The biggest breakthrough, according to Farwell, was its role in freeing convicted murderer Terry Harrington, who had been serving a life sentence in Iowa State Penitentiary for killing a night watchman in 1977 . Finally Harrington had passed the brain fingerprinting test and was set free. APPLICATIONS: 1) National security: To Identify terrorists , fugitives, criminals and accomplices prior to attack by determining whether specific information is embedded into brain memory of the subject. 2) Medical diagnosis : a) Alzheimers Disease : detects p300 brainwave, symptoms reversible through dietary and medicinal changes. b) Pharmaceutical companies: to see effects of new medication, doctors can monitor treatments and adjust them. Conclusion: In INDIA, brain fingerprinting is not being used widely. Past history reveals that even those investigations which dealt with other techniques like polygraph and lie detection were criticized. But experts say it is highly scientific, brain fingerprinting doesnt have anything to do with the emotions, whether a person is sweating or not; it simply detects scientifically if that information is stored in the brain. It doesnt depend upon the subjective interpretation of the person conducting the test. The computer monitors the information and comes up with information present or information absent. Brain Fingerprinting technology has been applied in over 170 cases in US. More than 80 of these were in real-life situations, and the rest were laboratory studies. Brain Fingerprinting testing has not made a single error in all of these cases. It is accurate, scientific, thoroughly tested and proven. Brain Fingerprinting testing is based on wellestablished science. So practicing this technology in INDIA would bring several unrevealed mysteries to an end..
