Brain Fingerprinting- Science for Security

Dr. Lawrence Farwell, Chairman and Chief Science Officer at Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Brain Fingerprinting- Science for Security. Brain Fingerprinting- Science for Security Security has always been and continues to be a moving target. It is an unfortunate reality today that almost all advances in science and technology pose potential ‘dual use’ risks. When risks undermine rewards, responsible science must provide effective protection against potential security threats and be at the front line of defense. Billions of dollars are being spent across nations to map the human brain. While the understanding of the brain is fundamental to advance human and computational intelligence, it is also crucial to identify the security challenges we face today, in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). There is a hope that understanding the brain circuits, neural pathways, and wiring– mapping the brain, will not only let us understand the brain command center, for the human nervous system better, but it will also let us into the human mind to achieve the secrets of security. While there are many obstacles the scientific community must overcome before they can successfully use brain science advances for the safety and security of humans in cyberspace, geospace, and space; advances have begun to happen. One such advance is Brain Fingerprinting. If we are interested in making sure that security is maintained in cyberspace, geospace, and space, and that the criminals are found proactively; any idea, innovation, or technology that can help us make a proactive determination of the possibility of crime or help us identify the criminals after the crime happens is welcoming. The security community needs to know about it. Time is now to evaluate Brain Fingerprinting- Science for Security. For more please watch the Risk Roundup Webcast or hear the Risk Roundup Podcast About the Guest Dr. Larry Farwell, Ph.D. is the inventor of Brain Fingerprinting, a scientific method to discover the truth, identify criminals and terrorists, and clear the innocent with extremely high accuracy by measuring brainwaves. He invented the first brain-computer interface. He conducted Brain Fingerprinting research at the FBI, the CIA, and the US Navy. He patented Brain Fingerprinting, published it in the leading scientific journals, and applied it to solve major crimes. He has been featured on CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times, and news media throughout the world.  TIME Magazine named him to the TIME 100: The Next Wave, the top innovators of this century who may be “the Einstein’s or Picassos of the 21st Century.” He is a Harvard graduate and a former Harvard research associate.  He earned his Ph.D. in biological psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992. He is the author of How Consciousness Commands Matter: The New Scientific Revolution and the Evidence that Anything Is Possible.
