Crime and science
Neuroscience and genetics are challenging the concept of free will by providing evidence that brain abnormalities and genes can impair a person's ability to make rational choices. Studies such as the case of Phineas Gage, who had personality changes after brain damage, showed the link between brain structure and behavior. Neuroscience has also been used in court, with defendants presenting brain scans to argue they are not culpable due to brain abnormalities, though the reliability of these scans is debated. While brain factors may influence behavior, courts recognize other environmental and circumstantial factors must also be considered when assessing individual responsibility and free will.
Brain fingerprinting technology final
Brain fingerprinting is a new lie detection technique that measures brain wave activity in response to crime-related stimuli to identify whether the details of a crime are stored in the subject's memory, indicating guilt, as it has been shown the brain generates unique patterns for familiar information. It works by presenting words or images to the subject and detecting a MERMER (memory and encoding related multifaceted electroencephalographic response) if the brain recognizes a probe stimulus related to the crime details. Proponents argue it can objectively determine if a subject has knowledge of a crime stored in their brain.
Brain Fingerprinting Technology
Brain Fingerprinting is a new computer-based technology to identify the perpetrator of a crime accurately and scientifically by measuring brain-wave responses to crime-relevant words or pictures presented on a computer screen. Brain Fingerprinting has proven 100% accurate in over 120 tests, including tests on FBI agents, tests for a US intelligence agency and for the US Navy, and tests on real-life situations including felony crimes. Brain fingerprinting is based on finding that the brain generates a unique brain wave pattern when a person encounters a familiar stimulus Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging in lie detection derives from studies suggesting that persons asked to lie show different patterns of brain activity than they do when being truthful. Issues related to the use of such evidence in courts are discussed. The author concludes that neither approach is currently supported by enough data regarding its accuracy in detecting deception to warrant use in court. In the field of criminology, a new lie detector has been developed in the United States of America. This is called “brain fingerprinting”. This invention is supposed to be the best lie detector available as on date and is said to detect even smooth criminals who pass the polygraph test (the conventional lie detector test) with ease. The new method employs brain waves, which are useful in detecting whether the person subjected to the test, remembers finer details of the crime. Even if the person willingly suppresses the necessary information, the brain wave is sure to trap him, according to the experts, who are very excited about the new kid on the block.
Brain fingerprinting
Brain fingerprinting is a proposed technique to detect deception or concealed knowledge through measuring brain wave responses to stimuli related to a crime. It uses electroencephalography sensors to measure electrical activity in the brain when a person is exposed to relevant or irrelevant words, phrases or images. Proponents argue it can determine whether a person has specific knowledge about a crime scene or event. However, the document concludes that neither brain fingerprinting nor other brain imaging approaches have enough evidence to demonstrate their accuracy in detecting deception to warrant use in courts.

Briefly describe this person/character, including the medium (real life, television, movie, book, etc.) from which he or she comes, why you selected him or her, his or her background, and the background of the crimes he or she committed.
Aileen Wuornos was a real-life female serial killer. As a child, her father was convicted of sexually abusing children and killed himself in prison. At one point he was diagnosed as schizophrenic. Wuornus was abandoned by her mother at four years old and forced to live with her abusive grandparents. After having a baby at 14 she was kicked out of her grandparent’s home and lived on the streets as a prostitute. Wuornos was convicted of six life sentences for killing men she accused of either raping her or attempting to rape her.
Based on your reading this week, define, in your own words, forensic psychology as a specific example of applied behavioral science, and describe how forensic psychology could have been helpful in this case.
“Forensic psychology is a field of study that applies scientific psychological knowledge to legal issues pertaining to criminal offenders and the criminal justice system. Identify trends in forensic psychology that would prove helpful” (McCarthy et al, 2016, section 6.1). I would define it as the application and education of reliable scientific psychology in the criminal justice system. Forensic psychologist can evaluate human behaviors and based on scientifically reliable assessments determine the dangerousness to a person’s self or society at large. The can also look for common diagnosis to determine if a person is fit to stand trial. In the case of Wuornus, a forensic psychologist could have examined her RAP sheet to determine if she was a threat to society. She was arrested for several crimes, including armed robbery and assault. In the biosocial age, criminologist now have access to genetic and brain imaging data. I think it would have been worth assessing her for schizophrenia. She stated that the men she killed either raped her or attempted to rape her until she was executed. Paranoia is common in schizophrenics and some believed she was convinced that she was raped or about to be raped. In her mind the murders were justified.

THE NEUROSCIENCE OF ADOLESCENT BRAIN.pptx
The documentary analyzes the teenage brain from clinical, social, and biological perspectives. It focuses on the research of Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore on adolescent brain development using neuroimaging. The documentary explains that the prefrontal cortex, involved in decision making and self-awareness, undergoes dramatic changes during adolescence. This makes teenagers hypersensitive to social exclusion and more likely to take risks to gain social acceptance from peers. The changes in the teenage brain explain why adolescents can exhibit risky behaviors and vulnerability to peer pressure during this developmental period.

Personality and the brain; Can brain damage change personality?
Brain damage can change personality in several ways:
1) Studies have found links between certain personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder and abnormalities in areas of the brain like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
2) Brain imaging research on criminals with antisocial personality disorder has revealed structural and functional damage in regions involved in decision making, emotions, and social behavior.
3) Brain damage may contribute to personality changes by impairing functions like impulse control, empathy, and the ability to learn from punishment or fear. However, the relationship between brain abnormalities and personality is complex with many open questions.
Researchers Say Synchronized Body Movements May Help In Human Social Bonding ...
Researchers conducted a study to better understand how synchronized body movements may help with social bonding. In the study, participants sat across from a partner and slowly extended their fingers towards each other while researchers recorded their brain activity and finger movements. The results showed that after cooperative exercises, the participants' finger movements and brain activity became more synchronized, especially in social and sensorimotor regions of the brain. This suggests that synchronized body movements may help lay the foundation for other types of social interactions by increasing brain and body synchronization between individuals.

Forensic psychologist can evaluate human behaviors and based on scientifically reliable assessments determine the dangerousness to a person’s self or society at large. The can also look for common diagnosis to determine if a person is fit to stand trial. In the case of Wuornus, a forensic psychologist could have examined her RAP sheet to determine if she was a threat to society. She was arrested for several crimes, including armed robbery and assault. In the biosocial age, criminologist now have access to genetic and brain imaging data. I think it would have been worth assessing her for schizophrenia. She stated that the men she killed either raped her or attempted to rape her until she was executed. Paranoia is common in schizophrenics and some believed she was convinced that she was raped or about to be raped. In her mind the murders were justified.

Brain finger printing
Brain Fingerprinting is a technique used to determine scientifically what information is, or is not stored in a particular brain.
Brain Finger Printing was invented by Dr B .S. Farwell chief scientist and president of human brain research and laboratory , USA
Personality and the brain; Can brain damage change personality?
Brain damage can change personality in several ways:
1) Studies have found links between certain personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder and abnormalities in areas of the brain like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
2) Brain imaging research on criminals with antisocial personality disorder has revealed structural and functional damage in regions involved in decision making, emotions, and social behavior.
3) Brain damage may contribute to personality changes by impairing functions like impulse control, empathy, and the ability to learn from punishment or fear. However, the relationship between brain abnormalities and personality is complex with many open questions.
Researchers Say Synchronized Body Movements May Help In Human Social Bonding ...
Researchers conducted a study to better understand how synchronized body movements may help with social bonding. In the study, participants sat across from a partner and slowly extended their fingers towards each other while researchers recorded their brain activity and finger movements. The results showed that after cooperative exercises, the participants' finger movements and brain activity became more synchronized, especially in social and sensorimotor regions of the brain. This suggests that synchronized body movements may help lay the foundation for other types of social interactions by increasing brain and body synchronization between individuals.

Introduction:
Brain Fingerprinting is a controversial proposed investigative technique that measures recognition of familiar stimuli by measuring electrical brain wave responses to words, phrases, or pictures that are presented on a computer screen. Brain fingerprinting was invented by Lawrence Farwell. The theory is that the suspect's reaction to the details of an event or activity will reflect if the suspect had prior knowledge of the event or activity. This test uses what Farwell calls the MERMER ("Memory and Encoding Related Multifaceted Electroencephalographic Response") response to detect familiarity reaction. One of the applications is lie detection. Dr. Lawrence A.

This document summarizes research on using quantitative methods and physiological measurements to help understand criminal behavior and assess culpability in legal cases. It reviews literature showing that conditions like abnormal amygdala and limbic system activation can influence emotions and impulse control. The authors argue that objectively measuring these systems could provide additional context for legal decisions, rather than as direct evidence. They propose developing diagnostic tests to characterize stress responses and treatments for pathological conditions. While neuroscience hasn't yet determined criminal responsibility, it may help challenge understandings as the field advances.Psychology Titles
This document summarizes several books related to psychology:
- The first book discusses how higher psychological functions develop from a biological basis and emphasizes the importance of psychological tools like language for human consciousness.
- The second examines the use of psychotropic medications and mental health services for children on Medicaid and in foster care.
- The third covers topics like emotional engagement in games, fantasy worlds, and the psychological impact of games on self-perception.

The young men who opened fire at Columbine High School, at the movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and in other massacres had this in common: they were video gamers who seemed to be acting out some dark digital fantasy. It was as if all that exposure to computerized violence gave them the idea to go on a rampage -- or at least fueled their urges.
But did it really?
Social scientists have been studying and debating the effects of media violence on behavior since the 1950s, and video games in particular since the 1980s. The issue is especially relevant today, because the games are more realistic and bloodier than ever, and because most American boys play them at some point. Girls play at lower rates and are significantly less likely to play violent games.
A burst of new research has begun to clarify what can and cannot be said about the effects of violent gaming. Playing the games can and does stir hostile urges and mildly aggressive behavior in the short term. Moreover, youngsters who develop a gaming habit can become slightly more aggressive -- as measured by clashes with peers, for instance -- at least over a period of a year or two.
Yet it is not at all clear whether, over longer periods, such a habit increases the likelihood that a person will commit a violent crime, like murder, rape, or assault, much less a Newtown-like massacre. (Such calculated rampages are too rare to study in any rigorous way, researchers agree.)
"I don't know that a psychological study can ever answer that question definitively," said Michael R. Ward, an economist at the University of Texas, Arlington. "We are left to glean what we can from the data and research on video game use that we have."
The research falls into three categories: short-term laboratory experiments; longer-term studies, often based in schools; and correlation studies -- between playing time and aggression, for instance, or between video game sales and trends in violent crime.
Lab experiments confirm what any gamer knows in his gut: playing games like "Call of Duty," "Killzone 3" or "Battlefield 3" stirs the blood. In one recent study, Christopher Barlett, a psychologist at Iowa State University, led a research team that had 47 undergraduates play "Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance" for 15 minutes. Afterward, the team took various measures of arousal, both physical and psychological. It also tested whether the students would behave more aggressively, by having them dole out hot sauce to a fellow student who, they were told, did not like spicy food but had to swallow the sauce.
Sure enough, compared with a group who had played a nonviolent video game, those who had been engaged in "Mortal Kombat" were more aggressive across the board. They gave their fellow students significantly bigger portions of the hot sauce.
Many similar studies have found the same thing: A dose of violent gaming makes people act a little more rudely than they would otherwise, at le ...
Food and criminal brains
The document discusses research conducted by Professor Adrian Raine on the relationship between childhood experiences, brain development, and criminal behavior later in life. The research found that children aged 3-5 years old who received better nutrition, exercise, and education as part of an "enrichment program" were less likely to develop antisocial behaviors as teenagers or engage in criminal activities as adults compared to children who did not receive the program. The results suggest that environmental factors like diet and exercise during critical early childhood years can influence brain development in ways that reduce criminal risk.

Brain Scans Reveal How everyone Justify Slaughtering
- 1. Brain Scans Reveal How everyone Justify Slaughtering New research using brain scans reveals internet marketers c-PTSD can be killers in certain situations, showing how brain activity varies according to whether killing can be regarded as justified. http://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/PTSD.asp http://www.livescience.com/44860-ptsd.html For the study, Dr. Pascal Molenberghs of Monash University in PTSD Australia recruited participants to listen to game titles through which they imagined themselves shooting traumatic innocent civilians — unjustified violence — or enemy soldiers — justified violence. Their activity in the brain was recorded via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as they played. https://www.facebook.com/pages/PTSD/455847705426 As per Molenberghs, the outcome provide understanding of marketers in specific situations, an example would be war, have the capacity to commit extreme violence against others. “When participants imagined themselves shooting civilians in relation to soldiers, greater activation was discovered the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), an indispensable brain area involved in making moral decisions,†he stated. “The more guilt participants felt about shooting civilians, the more the response inside the lateral OFC. When shooting enemy soldiers, no activation was seen in lateral OFC.†The outcome illustrate that the neural mechanisms that might be typically implicated with harming others lessen active in the event the violence against a particular group is seen as justified. “The findings show that every time a patient accountable for exactly what see as justified or unjustified violence, they surely will have different feelings of guilt associated with that — for the very first time we are able to just how this guilt is connected to specific brain activation,†he stated. Molenberghs is director of a given Monash Social Neuroscience Lab, which studies morality, empathy and group membership to gain a better understanding of how social problems an example would be racism and in-group bias develop. He said he wishes further investigate internet marketers become desensitized to violence and in what way personality and the group membership of both perpetrators and victims influences these processes.
