According to Yousefi et al., a new biometric authentication method using an electroencephalogram (EEG) device to predict image memorability and mental imagery can serve as the most secure identity authentication process, compared to other conventional biometric authentication methods.
Currently existing biometric features used for authentication, such as facial recognition, fingerprint scan, etc., is prone to the risk of duplication of the identification information. Fingerprints can be retrieved. Deepfake technology can duplicate your facial features. As technology evolves, more effective and various methods will be introduced that could potentially put millions of people’s privacy at risk.
EEG headset will detect, and analyze different classifications of waves as you look, memorize, and draw mental pictures of different given images and that information becomes your authentication key to whichever system you implement the program to.
It is impossible to have two identical brains nor waves they emit. By eradicating the probability of duplication of the authentication information, brain-based biometric authentication method using EEG will provide the most secure way of identity authentication.
