BFP is an ERP*-based knowledge detection technology aiming to detect concealed knowledge pertaining to an incident (criminal or otherwise) in a person's brain. BFP can also detect if a certain person has knowledge specific to a specific group or organisation (e.g., FBI).
BFP was invented in the early 1990s by Dr Lawrence (Larry) Farwell - currently the Chief Science Officer of the Brain Fingerprinting Technologies.
During my PhD at University of Canterbury, I worked with academics from psychology and law in a New Zealand Law Foundation project to replicate the accuracy and reliability of the BFP technology with general population and with parolees.
An EEG headset (see the figure) and a computer software are used in this technology.

Can we beat Brain Fingerprinting?
I have also investigated a cognitive psychology technique known as Think/No-Think in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, UK (read further). Think/No-Think might be used as a countermeasure against BFP. There is a potential for prospective Honours, Master’s and PhD students to work with us on BFP and Think/No-Think at the University of Canterbury. This will tell us what type of people could employ Think/No-Think, and potentially beat BFP.
