This one sounds borderline crackpot, but it doesn’t seem that far from the realm of biometrics generally. It would be a subtler investigation to correlate a brain “fingerprint” with personality, memories, consciousness, but surely an interesting one.
“The Colorado House Judiciary Committee Hearing on Brain Fingerprinting Testing will take place Thursday, March 9, at 1:30 p.m., in Colorado State Capitol, Room 0112. This is a critical bill that the DaVinci Institute has been working towards for the past two years. The impact of Brain Fingerprinting will be global as a valuable tool for more efficient and cost-effective justice and increased public safety.
The inventor of Brain Fingerprinting testing, Dr. Lawrence Farwell, caught a last minute flight into Colorado and is scheduled to offer expert testimony at the hearing. Other stakeholders in criminal justice and corrections are invited to attend either to just observe and learn, or to offer comments on the technology.”
