This relatively inexpensive and non-invasive technique could be used to determine if a witness or a suspect recognises crucial pieces of information related to a crime, only known to that person and the authorities.<\/p>\n<h2>How it works<\/h2>\n<p>We have all been in situations where our attention was gripped by hearing our name mentioned in a social setting. This reflex has been a feature of survival since the beginning of humanity to enable us to detect whether a particular sound or sight was a threat. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordhandbooks.com\/view\/10.1093\/oxfordhb\/9780195374148.001.0001\/oxfordhb-9780195374148-e-007\">involuntary reaction<\/a> is one of the leading theories underpinning this phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>The P300 is an electrical brainwave detectable by placing electrodes on a person\u2019s scalp. It appears on an electroencephalogram (EEG) as a positive or negative deflection (a downward or upward looking curve) about 300 to 600 milliseconds after a person is presented with a novel and meaningful stimulus. This reaction is considered a <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.psych.northwestern.edu\/rosenfeld\/documents\/MemoryDetection69-90.pdf\">reliable index of memory recognition<\/a>. It can show when a person recognises an individual\u2019s name, the sweet taste of chocolate, or the sound of an artist\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"align-center \">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two charts showing how the P300 brainwave appears on an EEG.\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=45&#038;auto=format&#038;w=754&#038;fit=clip\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=45&#038;auto=format&#038;w=600&#038;h=299&#038;fit=crop&#038;dpr=1 600w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=30&#038;auto=format&#038;w=600&#038;h=299&#038;fit=crop&#038;dpr=2 1200w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=15&#038;auto=format&#038;w=600&#038;h=299&#038;fit=crop&#038;dpr=3 1800w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=45&#038;auto=format&#038;w=754&#038;h=376&#038;fit=crop&#038;dpr=1 754w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=30&#038;auto=format&#038;w=754&#038;h=376&#038;fit=crop&#038;dpr=2 1508w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/471167\/original\/file-20220627-12-b8n0bn.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&#038;q=15&#038;auto=format&#038;w=754&#038;h=376&#038;fit=crop&#038;dpr=3 2262w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1466px) 754px, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, (min-width: 600px) 600px, 237px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><figcaption>\n              <span class=\"caption\">The baseline appearance of a P300 wave for an \u2018innocent\u2019 test subject (left), compared to how it appears in a \u2018guilty\u2019 subject (right) who recognises the probe information.

The logic behind this is easy to understand. A witness or a suspect is presented with a crucial piece of information (the \u201cprobe\u201d), mixed in with a series of neutral alternatives (\u201cirrelevants\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>In this test, investigators analyse the interviewee\u2019s brain activity via electrodes attached to their scalp. They then use a statistical calculation to determine if they recognise the probe \u2013 the face of an attacker or a weapon \u2013 in comparison to the irrelevants.<\/p>\n<h2>Using it in the field<\/h2>\n<p>So far, the CTP has primarily been tested in a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33655464\/\">laboratory setting<\/a>, usually with young, healthy, university-educated adults under controlled conditions. The CTP has been the subject of dozens of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0167876016307309\">experiments<\/a> across four independent laboratories spanning at least four countries so far. Experiments have used different scenarios such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29083483\/\">mock theft<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20579312\/\">mock terrorism<\/a>. I am planning more field experiments to compare the success of the CTP with conventional photo parades and their subjective \u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s him\u201d responses from eyewitnesses. <\/p>\n<p>Other methods similar to the CTP have been used in India, the US and New Zealand, in the context of a concealed information test. More independent studies with these methodologies are necessary before it becomes mainstream. With more research on the CTP, I hope that this memory detection technique could be admissible in UK courts in a matter of years. <\/p>\n<p>Performing the test on a suspect or eyewitness prior to formal interview could confirm whether or not they recognise a murder weapon or the offender\u2019s face. The results of the test would then be used to assess their credibility \u2013 for example, if they contradict the test\u2019s findings in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to know if photo identification using brainwave analysis with the CTP would have prevented the miscarriages of justice mentioned above. But preliminary findings from my ongoing research suggest the CTP could be an asset for law enforcement, enabling investigators to draw out evidence from the brain of suspects and eyewitnesses.<\/p>\n<p>The potential for this technology is not without its pitfalls. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3462434\/\">A major threat<\/a> to its usefulness is when relevant information is accidentally released in the public domain. For example, someone accused of a crime based on evidence from a brainwave analysis could claim that the witness recognised their face from the press, thus skewing the results of the test. This would be difficult to navigate in some situations, but could be mitigated by law enforcement keeping their cards closer to their chest.<\/p>\n<p><span><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/profiles\/michel-funicelli-1335094\">Michel Funicelli<\/a>, Lecturer in Policing, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/institutions\/teesside-university-1230\">Teesside University<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This article is republished from <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\">The Conversation<\/a> under a Creative Commons license.
