Study Notes
Brain Fingerprinting
- An objective scientific method to detect concealed information in the brain.
- Measures brainwave responses (EEG) non-invasively using scalp sensors
- Uses a sequence of stimuli (words, phrases, pictures) presented on a screen
- Determines if “information is present" or “information is absent”
- MERMER (Memory and Encoding Related Multifaceted Electronencephalographic) is the signal used
- The method relies on changes in brainwave signals when the brain recognizes familiar information
- A patented device with a head gear is used.
- The system is computer-controlled, including stimuli presentation, brainwave recording, and data analysis
- A mathematical algorithm analyzes responses to stimuli and determines information presence
- MERMER is an electrical brainwave signal observed in response to familiar information
