Abstract

In recent years, numerous Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technologies have been developed to assist the disabled. In this paper, mental task based BCI is proposed for a different purpose: to identify the individuality of a person. The idea is based on the classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals recorded when a user thinks of either one or two mental tasks. As different individuals have different thought processes, this idea would be appropriate for individual identification. To increase the inter-subject differences, EEG data from six electrodes are used instead of one. Sixth order autoregressive features are computed from EEG signals and classified by Linear Discriminant classifier using a modified 10 fold cross validation procedure, which gave an average error of 0.95% when tested on 400 EEG patterns from four subjects. Though the method would have to undergo further development to obtain repeatable good accuracy; this initial study has shown the huge potential of the method over existing biometric identification systems as it is impossible to be faked.
