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.
