Veritas Scientific uses two technologies, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG), to decode three adapted tests: the Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT), the Implicit Association Test (IAT), and Hemodynamic Interrogation (HDI).
Veritas Scientific’s HandShake captures brain signals in response to stimuli through multiple Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) readings, bookended by a Friend Making Interview (FMI) and a Foe Problem Interrogation (FPI).
Veritas Scientific’s proprietary Friend or Foe Algorithm takes the millions of data points collected in these tests, processes and weights them accordingly, and generates a scored Green Light (Friend) or Red Light (Foe) hard analysis for independent decision-makers.HandShake Tests and Technologies
Tests and Technologies
With HandShake, Veritas Scientific is applying neurotechnology to National Security- a vanguard for actionable Threat Detection.HandShake is…
- Supported: Based on a strong body of established academic research. Previous studies have shown the tests to individually produce an accuracy rate of 80-95%.
- Effective: Integrating established science in a meaningful way produces results greater than the sum of its parts.
- Multidimensional: Each test used in isolation has limitations, but when implemented together, can provide a complex individual profile.
- Adaptable: Makes smart technologies even smarter with machine learning that minimizes false positives and false negatives, and can adjust to a spectrum of scenarios.
- Countermeasure Resistant: Brain reactions are gathered at fractions of a second, ensuring that HandShake determines a subject’s attitude, guilty knowledge, and deception, before the brain can actively process the information and modify it.
Product Applications
HandShake significantly advances the timeless search for security from surprise attacks by verifying who we can trust. It is an essential tool for any situation.
HandShake can…
- Uncover loyalties, guilty knowledge, and deception, in order to vet intelligence sources.
- Analyze brain responses at fractions of a second that provide warnings about a potential Lone Wolf attack. HandShake can out think Insider Attacks in Afghanistan.
- Clear the innocent from suspicion conclusively and provide a universal friend making system.
- Help focus limited resources on real threats, changing the game in asymmetric warfare.
- Be applied to a wide spectrum of scenarios (Upon his return from Chechnya, had the Boston Marathon Bomber been screened by Veritas Scientific’s HandShake, this neurotechnology would have identified him as a potential threat.)
The Friend or Foe Algorithm
Veritas Scientific’s HandShake takes and decodes Event Related Potential brain waves and brain-blood oxygenation levels to determine threats.The Friend or Foe Algorithm takes millions of these brain data points, recognizes patterns that can distinguish “Friend” from “Foe” in near real-time, and carefully weighs their significance.
