Brain Fingerprint Says Convicted Murderer Is Innocent

Brain Fingerprint Says Convicted
Murderer Is Innocent
02/17/2004 04:58 PM

It's been over a year since we last mention ed the debate over "brain fingerprinting" - a technology for reading someone's brainwaves to see if their brain has the information stored. In other words, if you present some bit of info that only a person involved in a crime would know - their brain fingerprint would indicate they knew it. This is, of course, very controversial and not everyone is convinced that it really works. The debate should rise up again, now that a convicted murderer on death row has been given a brain fingerprint that shows he does not know important details about the murder. Of course, it does make you wonder if someone involved in a particularly horrific crime (as this one appears to be) might black out the memory of the crime to the point that such a brain fingerprint would come up negative.

Innocent Love of a Dancer


Innocent Love of a Dancer 04/15/2005 04:40 AM

Dancer of Sunjung (sungung means innocent love in Korean) is a Korean movie currently in production which I am looking very forward to.  It's a story about a young dancer from Yanbian competing in a Korean ballroom dance contest and finding love.  I hope it's as enjoyable as the original version of Shall We Dance was.

Goonyoung Moon, the young leading actress with a thousand cute faces, is one of my favorite Korean actresses.  Here is one of the thousand that makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Yanbian, fyi,&n bsp;is a Chinese prefecture bordering Russia and North Korea which is heavily populated (~40%) by descendents of Korean origin called Chosun-jok.  Enough Koreans have lived there for long enough to even have evolved their own accent which is faithfully reproduced in the movie.

I would love to learn ballroom dancing but I've had only about 5 ballroom dancing lessons over the past 20 years because I just don't enjoy the way ballroom dancing is taught traditionally: too much focus on steps and not enough on how to weave them together into a dance.

As it is now, it's as bewildering as learning to program in assembly language although I've been known to spin girls confidently (and unfortunately uncontrollably) on the dance floor given enough drinks under the belt.

09/02/2004 05:50 PM
An ISP in the UK has decided that all these legal processes with takedown notices and figuring out who's sharing what with whoever else is just way too much work. Instead, it's much, much easier to simply declare everyone guilty and block all P2P traffic, unless you come begging for it with a very, very good reason -- at which point they might allow you your P2P license, and let you use P2P applications. Seems like a good way to encourage people to go check out the competition.

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.

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).
