Brainfingerprinting: In this Pathfinder, you will find useful and helpful resources for research on the topic of brain and scientific lie detection.  We do not delve into the history because we feel more modern, up to date sites have more scientific and researched content. We instead chose to focus more on breakthrough technology. This is for detecting heinous, malevolent lies; not little white lies. This guide is designed for students either interested in learning more, or doing a project on this topic.
