Brain fingerprinting

Brain fingerprinting 02/18/2004 10:38 PM
Brain fingerprinting is about to take centre stage in a last-chance court appeal against a death-row conviction in the US." The technology was developed by Dr. Lawrence Farwell, one of Time Magazine's "100 Innovators who may be the Picassos or Einsteins of the 21st century." Is this a positive development for humankind (after all, it may clear innocent accused of their alleged crimes, or uncover dangerous terrorists), or is it yet another scary advancement in the government's encroachm ent on our privacy ? I personally think Philip K. Dick, author of "Minori ty Report" may have been more of a prophet than we ever knew. (See this link as well).

India And Colorado To Introduce Brain
Fingerprinting 04/29/2004 01:28 PM
dr2tom (from the DaVinci Institute) writes "The government of India signed a contract this week to use Brain Fingerprinting technology in its criminal justice system. Invented by Seattle-based Dr. Lawrence Farwell, brain fingerprinting uses a headband with sensors measuring brain waves to determine whether certain information is stored in a person's memory. For example, if a picture of a murder scene is shown to a crime suspect, brain-wave measurements might indicate familiarity with the image. Working with the Colorado-based DaVinci Institute, the company said it would like to build a national training center in Colorado." We've written about brain fingerprinting many times before, and it's highly controversial, with those who are against it pointing out the many problems with the current research on the subject. While there's been a lot of press about the topic, it still seems worthwhile to remain skeptical about how well this technology works.

to fingerprinting 05/04/2004 03:17 PM
Jon Asato sez: "Here's a story that caught my eye on GameSpot.com. Businesses in certain states are required by law to collect, among other privacy invasive information, the thumbprints of customers who want to sell their used video games, CDs, and books."

In addition to recording the drivers' licenses, telephone numbers, and addresses of customers who sell used games or consoles, some stores are routinely requiring thumbprints as well. Retailers are collecting the information under a law intended to regulate pawn shops and make it easy for law enforcement officials to track down thieves who fence stolen goods. A number of states have such laws, and Utah passed its own version just last month.

In California, the law has been on the books for more than a decade, but with the increased market for used games and DVDs, some retailers are taking a cautious approach and are collecting fingerprints just to make sure they don’t run afoul of local regulations.

You Still Want The Old Files, Right? 04/07/2005 05:31 AM

Like many others, I too have been surprised by this bug in Windows' file explorer, where "replacing a folder" really means "merge the two folders" instead. Thankfully, no files were lost in the process, only a slightly confused human being who was surprised to find old files still lurking inside the folder.

Unfortunately, I now have to find a special location in my memory to keep this little fact whenever I operate a Windows machine.

Atheros Files for IPO 12/02/2003 12:32 AM
Chipmaker Atheros files paperwork to have a public stock offering: News.com's Richard Shim reports that Atheros filed papers Nov. 26 to raise about $100 million in an initial public offering. The company had nearly $50 million in revenue in the first nine months of 2003 compared to $16.5 million in the same period last year, while that period's losses this year were about $12 million versus $16 million last year. Before Comdex, competitor Broadcom launched a broadside against Atheros's chipsets with the Super G Turbo mode turned on for 108 Mbps speeds. While Broadcom says the complaint isn't directly connected to Atheros, but rather with out-of-standards hardware in general, Atheros is in the target because of it was well-known the company was ready to launch its IPO....

David Pescovitz: Following previous posts on Sunjit the Chicken Man and An drei the Dog Boy, several BB readers emailed me their favorite references to wild children raised by animals. For example, this site talks about France's Wild Boy of Averyon, "a remarkable creature (who) came out of the woods" in 1800. The text comes from a great book called The Forbidden Experiment: The Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyron, by Roger Shattuck. Here is one naturalist's observations of the Wild Boy:

"When he is sitting down, and even when he is eating, he makes a guttural sound, a low murmur; and he rocks his body from right to left or backwards and forwards, with his head and chin up, his mouth closed, and his eyes staring at nothing. In this position he sometimes has spasms, convulsive movements that may indicate that his nervous system has been affected. There is nothing wrong with the boy’s five senses, but their order of importance seemed to be modified. He relies first on smell, then on taste; his sense of touch comes last. His sight is sharp; his hearing seems to shut out many sounds people around him pay close attention to. Nothing interests him but food and sleep."

BB reader Andy Scudder also points us to a transc ript of a NOVA documentary called "Secret of the Wild Child." And then Alberto Gaitan sends us to FeralChildren .com a comprehensive clearinghouse of information on "isolated, confined, wolf and wild children." Perhaps it's time for a big screen remake of the 1977 TV series Lucan?
