    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
