2 A game-changing science that detects concealed information stored in the brain

3 Introduction What is Brain Fingerprinting? A security solution that makes it virtually impossible for the brain to conceal any privileged information, delivery truth and justice for national security. 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 Noninvasive

4 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

5 How does it work?

6 Step 1: Attach Headset EEG Sensors

7 Step 2: Collect Brainwave Responses Suspect Examiner / Investigat or

8 Step 2: Collect Brainwave Responses (software) Examiner Screen Subject Screen Stimulus (Case facts) Glock Pistol 10 mm Auto Event Related Potentials

9 Step 3: Analyze Results Information Absent Information Present Statistical Confidence : 99.9% Statistical Confidence : 99.9%

10 How it works Measures brainwaves to capture involuntary responses to stimuli Taking forensic science to the next level!

11 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

31 Brain Fingerprinting Brain Fingerprinting scientifically detects whether specific information is stored in the brain by measuring brainwaves. SUBJECT PREPARATION LAUNCH APPLICATION COLLECT BRAINWAVES ANALYZE RESULTS 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.

32 P300 MERMER (Memory and Encoding Related Multifaceted Encephalographic Response) Brain Fingerprinting Test Results Information Absent Information Present Target Probe Irrelevant Target Probe Irrelevant Statistical Confidence : 99.9% Statistical Confidence : 99.9% 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

33 Brain Fingerprinting Applications COUNTERTERRORISM COUNTERINTELLIGENCE LAW ENFORCEMENT Determines whether or not a suspect is a potential terrorist or connected to a broader terror network Screens suspicious individuals by crossverifying background and knowledge Generates quality leads through proactive intelligence collection

34 Brain Fingerprinting COUNTERTERRORISM Challenge Insufficient information Accurate intelligence on leads and networks Pace and scope of suspected terrorists Solution Brussels Airport Attacks April 2016 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, 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 Nairobi Westgate Mall Attacks September 2013 Jakarta Attacks January

35 Brain Fingerprinting COUNTERINTELLIGENCE Challenge 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 Solution 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

36 Brain Fingerprinting LAW ENFORCEMENT Challenge 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 Solution 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

37 Brain Fingerprinting Success Stories TERRY HARRINGTON J.B GRINDER 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

38 Brain Fingerprinting Success Stories BOMB-MAKER STUDY FBI AGENT STUDY CIA REAL-LIFE STUDY Purpose : accurate identification of bomb-makers Issued specific screening tests to detect specific group knowledge IED/EOD acronyms Bomb-making procedures Results: 0 % error rate, zero false negatives, zero false positives, zero indeterminates Purpose: detect whether information unique to FBI Agents can be used to identify an individual as an FBI Agent or not Specific screening tests detected FBI techniques FBI procedures Information learned in FBI training Results: 0 % error rate, zero false negatives, zero false positives, zero 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 Results: 0 % error rate, zero false negatives, zero false positives, zero indeterminates

39 Why Brain Fingerprinting Brain Fingerprinting provides a previously unavailable level of objectivity and accuracy in determining the truth. o o o o o o Accurately distinguishes who participated in, planned, or perpetrated criminal acts, directly or indirectly Supports investigators and intelligence units to identify which criminal networks suspects belong to, including terrorists in sleeper cells Helps pinpoint the chain of command of a suspect for any criminal network Protects classified information by detecting which criminals harbor unauthorized knowledge Validates missing link between available information and evidence from various sources and knowledge concealed in the brain Screens illegal intruders and threat actors with reliable group-based knowledge to effectively assess risk
