I like the fact that a suspect would not be able to lie, thus making the brain fingerprinting much more accurate than a polygraph. You brought up a good point: the subconscious cannot lie. This is the beauty of brain fingerprinting. From what you shared about it, it seems as if it would be a surefire way to detect if someone is lying or telling the truth. I feel this could definitely enhance the efficiency of the criminal justice system.Laura Joschkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116999792912781403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-5311357886846847812012-03-05T12:57:35.582-08:002012-03-05T12:57:35.582-08:00I have never heard of this before, but I do think ...I have never heard of this before, but I do think it is a good and interesting concept. It is somewhat like an extreme polygraph, but seems like it would be more accurate. At the same time what about cases where the person blacked out or have multiple personalities? Just because the brain is so complex and, we don’t even use most of it, so we definitely don’t understand it, I don't see brain fingerprinting being something that our criminal justice system will used anytime soon. I do actually think this is an interesting concept to study and build on. I would like to see the results from experiments.Keisha Spillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832995598618680710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-73975440766859162182012-03-04T13:27:13.795-08:002012-03-04T13:27:13.795-08:00This seems real cool adn fascinating and all, but ...This seems real cool adn fascinating and all, but this is hard to believe. It is also flawed due to the fact that it cannot be replicated as of now. It is said to measure the subconscious of the offender, but what if the offender has no subconscious or remorse. Then the brain fingerprinting couldn't work. I think this brain fingerprinting needs more tests to be much more effective because of now I dont see how this is any better than a polygraph machine.kazio marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055100322716317055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-17967489714445776542012-03-03T16:12:33.030-08:002012-03-03T16:12:33.030-08:00I have never heard of this before.

Like you said, I was very surprised to see that this was admitted in court. Another factor that you mentioned was that there has been no replication of the experiment. Because the researcher won't share the idea with anyone, it makes it near impossible to continue producing the same results unless he is the only one who does it. Right now, I think that the idea has a lot of potential, but it will definitely take a few years for the process to get smoothed out, as well as to make sure that this is something that can be used on a regular basis and was not simply a coincidence.Jake Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141231221475822487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-28380847349186850752012-03-03T10:42:11.410-08:002012-03-03T10:42:11.410-08:00This is cool, but as you said its inability to be ...This is cool, but as you said its inability to be replicated is definitely a disappointment. I don't know how much I would actually believe in something like this nor would I want the decision of my trial reliant on this technology. I would like to see this technology and improved by using test subjects rather than inmates or the accused so that people with nothing to lose could admit to whether or not the test is accurateArmando Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918405968269301402noreply@blogger.com
