Stephen J Smith Stephen J Smith Stephen J Smith is a Senior Investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science. Previously, Dr. Smith was Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. In 1990, Smith published an article in the journal "Science", which proposed that certain glial cells in the human brain known as astrocytes would be able to communicate through chemical signals, rather than electrical. By utilizing the neurotransmitter glutamate, he was able to show that these cells, which had once been perceived as inert tissue between neurons, in fact were actively communicating with the rest of
Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature Profiling Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature Profiling Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature Profiling (BEOSP or BEOS) is a technique by which a suspect's participation in a crime is detected by eliciting electrophysiological impulses. It is a non-invasive, scientific technique with a great degree of sensitivity and a neuro-psychological method of interrogation which is sometimes also referred to as ‘brain fingerprinting’. The methodology was developed by Champadi Raman Mukundan (C. R. Mukundan), a Neuroscientist, former Professor & Head of Clinical Psychology at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (Bangalore, India), while he worked as a Research Consultant to TIFAC-DFS Project on ‘Normative
