“…Some have applied various other knowledge-imparting procedures (Gamer and Berti 2009;Lefebvre et al 2007Lefebvre et al , 2009Meijer et al 2007). Some have detected recognition of well-known personal information such as pictures of known individuals (Meijer et al 2007(Meijer et al , 2009). These studies have met some but not all of the brain fingerprinting scientific standards.…”

Brain fingerprinting (BF) detects concealed information stored in the brain by measuring brainwaves. A specific EEG event-related potential, a P300-MERMER, is elicited by stimuli that are significant in the present context. BF detects P300-MERMER responses to words/ pictures relevant to a crime scene, terrorist training, bombmaking knowledge, etc. BF detects information by measuring cognitive information processing. BF does not detect lies, stress, or emotion. BF computes a determination of ''information present'' or ''information absent'' and a statistical confidence for each individual determination. Laboratory and field tests at the FBI, CIA, US Navy and elsewhere have resulted in 0% errors: no false positives and no false negatives. 100% of determinations made were correct. 3% of results have been ''indeterminate.'' BF has been applied in criminal cases and ruled admissible in court. Scientific standards for BF tests are discussed. Meeting the BF scientific standards is necessary for accuracy and validity. Alternative techniques that failed to meet the BF scientific standards produced low accuracy and susceptibility to countermeasures. BF is highly resistant to countermeasures. No one has beaten a BF test with countermeasures, despite a $100,000 reward for doing so. Principles of applying BF in the laboratory and the field are discussed.

“…Several ERP studies found that RTs successfully identified concealed information (Allen, Iacono, & Danielson, 1992;Meijer, Smulders, Merckelbach, & Wolf, 2007;Rosenfeld, Biroschak, & Furedy, 2006;Rosenfeld, Soskins, Bosh, & Ryan, 2004;Verschuere, Rosenfeld, Winograd, Labkovsky, & Wiersema, 2008). Seymour, Seifert, Shafto, and Mosmann (2000) examined whether concealed information can be detected using only RTs, without concurrent ERP recordings.…”

The Concealed Information Test is used to assess recognition of information that the examinee cannot or does not want to reveal. Physiological measures recorded with the polygraph have shown to be highly valid measures of concealed information. Research suggests that a reaction-time (RT) based test may also successfully reveal concealed information. Due to its simplicity, an RT-based test has great advantages for applied testing. In the present study, we assessed the validity of the RT-based test for concealed information detection, and compared its discriminative power with the polygraph. Thirty two participants in a feigned amnesia study were promised a financial reward when successfully concealing autobiographical information. Participants performed an RT-based test, and a polygraph test. The data support the validity of the RT-based test for concealed information detection, and indicate its discriminative power is similar to the polygraph. Our data confirm the potential of the RT-based test.

“…Yet Rosenfeld (2011) remarks that neither of these studies is fully representative. In the fi rst, the amplitude of the potential (part of the bootstrapping method based on the volume of the amplitude) was calculated according to the baseline-to-peak method instead of the peakto peak method more effi cient in the case of disclosure of concealed information (see : Soskins, Rosenfeld, Niendam 2001;Meijer, Smulders, Merckelbach, Wolf 2007). In turn, all the methods used in the second study proved very low effi ciency, and the high results in the one proposed by Allen concerned only certain cases of using detection prevention methods in the 3SP procedure.…”

Studies that make use of the bioelectric activity of the brain and falling back on the EEG are presented as an alternative to classical polygraph examinations, especially those that make use of the Guilty Knowledge Tests/Concealed Information Tests (GKT/CIT). Th eir main purpose is detection of concealed information through the analysis of the bioelectric activity of the brain in response to presented stimuli. Th e article aims at elucidating the main questions concerning the detection of concealed information with the use of P300 potential amplitude analysis, discussion of the chief advantages and disadvantages of the method, and presentation of a review of seminal studies.
