Brain waves are proposed as a biometric for verification of the identities of individuals in a small group. The approach is based on a novel two-stage biometric authentication method that minimizes both false accept error (FAE) and false reject error (FRE). These brain waves (or electroencephalogram (EEG) signals) are recorded while the user performs either one or several thought activities. As different individuals have different thought processes, this idea would be appropriate for individual…

TLDR
Correct classification scores at the range of 72% to 84% show the potential of the approach for person classification/identification and are in agreement with previous research showing evidence that the EEG carries genetic information.
Nonlinear analysis of EEG signals at different mental states
TLDR
The results show that EEG to become less complex relative to the normal state with a confidence level of more than 85% due to stimulation, which suggests that when the subjects are under sound or reflexologic stimuli, the number of parallel functional processes active in the brain is less and the brain goes to a more relaxed state.
