WHY iCOGNATIVE?
In the investigation of the detained Taiwanese suspects in Bali, iCognative technology could be instrumental. This advanced tool measures brain responses to specific stimuli, such as images or information related to the cybercrime activities suspected in this case.
- Evidence Verification: This technology can confirm whether the suspects have specific knowledge related to the cybercrimes, helping to link them to the crimes.
- Enhanced Interrogation Efficiency: iCognative can direct investigators on what questions to ask by revealing what suspects know, streamlining the interrogation process.
- Support for Deportation Decisions: Objective data from iCognative can inform decisions about the threat level or criminal involvement of the individuals, guiding deportation actions.
Using iCognative could refine the investigative process, ensuring precise identification and appropriate handling of individuals involved in cybercrimes, thus bolstering security and legal procedures.
