SYNOPSIS Brain Fingerprinting (BF) the law enforcement technology was born out of the work Dr. Farwell did at the University of Illinois from the mid 1980s through the early 1990s with his mentor Dr. Emanuel Dochin. While the BF test itself is in its infancy, the technology behind BF builds upon well established scientific principles that have been in development for over forty years. The underlying technology behind the BF test the monitoring of brain wave impulses began with the advent of the Electro Encephalograph (EEG), and has since focused on more specific impulse analysis. A BF test, in short, is a procedure by which an individual is hooked up to a sensory headset and subjected to numerous stimuli, which are then flashed on a computer monitor. In the context of the particular examination questions, these stimuli will either be familiar to the subject or unfamiliar, and the electric response of the subject’s brain will indicate accordingly on a subconscious and uncontrollable level.
