Brain fingerprinting is a test that uses EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure the electrical activity in the brain in response to specific stimuli, such as words or images related to a crime. The P300 wave is a specific component of the EEG that occurs in response to rare or significant stimuli, and it can be used to determine if the individual has knowledge of the crime. Therefore, Tony's test is most likely brain fingerprinting. Psychological stress evaluator, fMRI, and PET scan are not typically used in brain fingerprinting.
