11. Four phases of Farwell Brain
Fingerprinting.
1.Brain Fingerprinting Crime Scene Evidence Collection.
2.Brain Fingerprinting Brain Evidence Collection;
3.Brain Fingerprinting Computer Evidence Analysis;
4.Brain Fingerprinting Scientific Result.

12. APPLICATIONS
1.Counter terrorism.
1.Brain fingerprinting can help address the following critical
elements in the fight against terrorism:
2.Aid in determining who has participated in terrorist acts,
directly or indirectly.
3.Aid in identifying trained terrorists with the potentialto
commit future terrorist acts, even if they are in a “sleeper” cell
and have not been active for years.
4.Help to identify people who have knowledge or training in
banking, finance or communications and who are associated
with terrorist teams and acts.
5.Help to determine if an individual is in a leadership role
within a terrorist organization.

16. Advantages
•BrainFingerprintinghasbeenthoroughlyand
scientificallytested.
•ThetheoryandapplicationofBrainFingerprinting
havebeensubjecttopeerreviewandpublication
•ThetheoryandpracticeofBrainFingerprintinghave
gainedgeneralacceptanceintherelevantscientific
community.
•BrainFingerprintingisnon-invasiveandnon-
testimonial

17. Disadvantages
The main disadvantage of brain fingerprinting is that the
person who is the testee may undergo coma stage if the
technology is not applied correctly. It may cause some
harm for the brain.

18. Conclusion
•Brain Fingerprinting is a revolutionary new scientific
technology for solving crimes.
•Record of 100% Accuracy.
•The technology has further growth in the future which
exceeds to many more applications……
