About Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories

Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories is a privately held company founded by Dr. Lawrence A. Farwell. After 20 years of research and testing, Dr. Farwell began applying the Brain Fingerprinting® technology in the criminal justice system.  In several dramatic cases (Harrington & Grinder), he demonstrated that Brain Fingerprinting testing could profoundly change the criminal justice process, giving both prosecutors and defense attorneys a new scientific method of identifying the guilty and exonerating the innocent. In a major breakthrough, Brain Fingerprinting test results were admitted as evidence in a US District Court in March 2002. On February 26, 2003, in the Terry Harrington appeal, the Iowa Supreme Court left undisturbed the law of the case establishing the admissibility of the Brain Fingerprinting test evidence.

Following the impact of these cases and numerous projects with the US Government, Dr. Farwell and Brain Fingerprinting testing received significant media attention and appeared on programs such as CBS 60 Minutes, The Discovery Channel, ABC News, CNN and others. Articles in Time Magazine, The New York Times and additional publications have created worldwide interest in applications for the technology.

Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 2003 to make this ground breaking technology widely available. In addition to the criminal justice system, Brain Fingerprinting testing will be applied to help in the fight against terrorism. Research is also being conducted in the areas of drug efficacy in the pharmaceutical industry, advertising effectiveness, insurance fraud and security screening.
