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.

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.

Scientists at Harvard's Reid Lab have captured video of the visual cortex in cat and rat brains processing visual stimuli. The animals were shown several moving test patterns consisting of alternating black and white lines. The resulting neural activation patterns were revealed using a dye that glows differently based on calcium levels, which change when a neuron activates. R. Clay Reid and the other researchers involved hope the new technique can be used to gain a better understanding of the brain's functional micro-architecture, revealing the relationship between where neurons are and what they do. For a bit more on the subject see a recent CNET story on the research. And if you want the real details, see the Reid researcher's recent paper describing the technique, "Functional Imaging with Cellular Resolution Reveals Precise Micro-architecture in Visual Cortex" (PDF format). Neither article mentions how the 19-40 day old kittens felt about having craniotomies for science or if they survived the procedure - ouch!

FDA approves human brain implant devices: Wow. Science fiction come to life.

...a clinical trial in which four-square-millimeter chips will be placed beneath the skulls of paralyzed patients.

If successful, the chips could allow patients to command a computer to act — merely by thinking about the instructions they wish to send.

Understanding the Brain

Understanding the Brain 06/07/2004 08:38 PM
The Nobel-prize-winning Cambridge theoretical physicist Brian Josephson has released a short paper titled, How we might be able to Understand the Brain (PDF format). In it he proposes an abstract framework upon which unified theories of the brain could be built. This would replace the current piecemeal manner of studying and theorizing about particular mechanism or aspects of the brain in isolation. Josephson has also suggested that the study of the brain is tied to the study of abstraction in general.
