A game-changing science that detects

concealed information stored in the brain

Science & Technology

Detects whether specific information

is stored in a person‟s brain by

measuring brainwave responses to

crime-relevant words or pictures

presented on a computer screen

Highly accurate results with an

accuracy rate of 99.9%

P300-MERMER is emitted by the brain

of the subject if the information is

present in 400 ms

Patented wireless headset equipped

with EEG (electroencephalograph)

sensors

EEG Technology is Safe and Non-

What is Brain Fingerprinting?

Introduction

“A security solution that makes it virtually impossible for the brain to

conceal any privileged information, delivery truth and justice for

national security.”

Brain Fingerprinting: A technology that makes it virtually impossible for the brain to hide any kind of information and will hold good for the foreseeable future

How it works

Measures brainwaves to capture involuntary responses to stimuli

Taking forensic science to the next level!

The science – P300 Mermer

If the suspect recognises images, words, phrases, audio and video, a P300 Mermer

(Memory and Encoding Related Multifaceted Electroencephalographic Response)

will occur

Information Absent Information present

The blue and green lines closely correlate, confirming that the suspect does not have the knowledge of the crime. Later the computer analysis confirmed this result

In this case, the blue and the red Lines closely correlate. Computer analysis verified that the suspect has critical knowledge of the crime.

Red : Information that the suspect knows, whether or not he/she committed the crime

Green: Information not known to the suspect

Blue: Crime-relevant information only the perpetrator would know

MISSION

Relentlessly deliver truth and justice at a

global level through the Brain Fingerprinting

solution.

SOLUTION

Brain Fingerprinting solution advances

investigation, intelligence collection, and

forensic capabilities in Counterterrorism,

Border Security, and Law Enforcement.

Our Global Outreach


Brain Fingerprinting

Brain Fingerprinting scientifically detects whether specific information is stored in the brain by

measuring brainwaves.

The first step is to place

the wireless headset,

which uses sensors

(electrodes) to collect

brain responses from the

scalp and muscle

movements.

Then a series of crime or

event-specific stimuli in

the form of words,

phrases, or pictures are

flashed on a computer

screen.

Neurological responses

in the form of EEG signals

are emitted for each

trial.

The proprietary

software analyzes EEG

signals to determine

whether the

information under test is

present or absent.

Statistical Confidence : 99.9% Statistical Confidence : 99.9%

Target Probe Irrelevant

Target Probe Irrelevant

• „Target‟ information generates an „ information-present‟ baseline • „Irrelevant‟ information generates an „ information-absent‟ baseline • Correlation of „probe‟ information with target and irrelevant baselines determine definitive outcomes of present or absent • Analysis of results are immediate and instant after an hour of testing



Applications

Screens suspicious individuals by cross-

verifying background and knowledge

Determines whether or not a suspect is

a potential terrorist or connected to a

broader terror network

Generates quality leads through

proactive intelligence collection

COUNTERTERRORISM COUNTERINTELLIGENCE LAW ENFORCEMENT



COUNTERTERRORISM

Challenge

Solution

• Insufficient information

• Accurate intelligence on leads and networks

• Pace and scope of suspected terrorists

• Detects information only a terrorist would

know, such as:

• Names, aliases, and roles of individuals involved in financing the terrorist operation

• specific terrorist training • Different communication channels (i.e phone

numbers, email addresses) • Clandestine meeting locations

• Over 99% accuracy, No false positives, no

false negatives, zero countermeasures

• Validates the possible links in the terrorist

network from database analysis techniques

• Immediate calibration of results

Brussels Airport Attacks April 2016

Nairobi Westgate Mall Attacks September 2013 Jakarta Attacks January 2016



COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

Challenge

Solution

• Absence of accurate cross-verification solutions

• Limitations to unreliable truth-verification solutions

and conventional background checks on

personnel

• do not reveal whether a person of interest has leaked critical information

• Identifies and associate a suspected person with:

• Specific knowledge of unauthorized knowledge • Tactical plans for past operations

• Financial details of illicit transactions

• Verifies whether information about the person

matches the true record retained in his/her brain



LAW ENFORCEMENT

Challenge

Solution

• Identification of perpetrators

• Obtain conclusive evidence

• False accounts, tips, bogus claims, manipulated facts

• Low case-clearance rates

• Costly • Fatigued manpower and resources • Increased threat to society

• Matches crime-specific information with the suspect‟s

memory record of the event

• Quickly corroborates victims and witnesses‟ testimonies

• Eliminates countermeasures through reliable brainwave

signals (P300 MERMER)

• Applicable in 85 – 90% of cases (validated by the FBI)

• Increased efficiency in case clearance rates

• Condenses number of leads per case • Ease of operation and instant results



Success Stories

• Terry Harrington was wrongly accused and convicted of

murder

• No further evidence was found that could help exonerate

Harrington

• Brain Fingerprinting accurately detected that information

stored in Harrington's brain did not match the crime scene

• Iowa Supreme Court reversed his murder conviction and

released him from prison

• For 15 years, James B. Grinder was the primary suspect in

the murder case of Julie Helton, but had inconclusive

evidence

• Brain Fingerprinting revealed that specific details of the

crime were “present” in Grinder‟s brain with a statistical

confidence level of 99.9%

• Following the test results, Grinder pled guilty to the rape

and murder of Helton in exchange for a life sentence

without parole

Success Stories

FBI AGENT STUDY

unique to FBI Agents can be used to

identify an individual as an FBI Agent

or not

• Specific screening tests detected

detect specific group knowledge

• IED/EOD acronyms

• Bomb-making procedures



indeterminates

• Purpose: detect concealed

information regarding real-life

events, including a number of felony

crimes

• information tested consisted of

specifics regarding particular events

that occurred in the lives of subjects

BOMB-MAKER STUDY CIA REAL-LIFE STUDY


Why Brain Fingerprinting

o Accurately distinguishes who participated in, planned, or perpetrated criminal acts, directly or indirectly

o Supports investigators and intelligence units to identify which criminal networks suspects belong to, including terrorists in sleeper cells

o Helps pinpoint the chain of command of a suspect for any criminal network

o Protects classified information by detecting which criminals harbor unauthorized knowledge

o Validates missing link between available information and evidence from various sources and knowledge concealed in the brain

o Screens illegal intruders and threat actors with reliable group-based knowledge to effectively assess risk

Brain Fingerprinting provides a previously

unavailable level of objectivity and accuracy in determining the truth.

The time has come for Brain Fingerprinting.
