Background:

Electroencephalography (EEG) offers potential for personal identification but faces challenges due to sensing complexity in real-world applications.
Previous methods often require numerous electrodes and complex signal processing, limiting practical usability.

Purpose of the Study:

To simplify EEG-based person identification by reducing electrode count and analysis complexity.
To introduce and validate a novel derived feature, Inter-Hemispheric Amplitude Ratio (IHAR), for improved accuracy.
To assess the performance of various machine learning algorithms with the new feature and reduced electrode configurations.

Main Methods:

Utilized event-related potentials (ERP) with a simplified protocol involving visual presentation of numbers and mental recall.
Introduced Inter-Hemispheric Amplitude Ratio (IHAR) derived from amplitude ratios of laterally corresponding electrode pairs.
Expanded the training dataset using signal augmentation and tested Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifiers.

Main Results:

Most machine learning algorithms achieved 100% accuracy with 14 electrodes.
High accuracy was attainable even with fewer electrodes.
The combination of AF3, AF4, F7, F8 electrodes with kNN classifier yielded the best performance at 99.0±0.8% testing accuracy.
The relaxation phase demonstrated the highest accuracy among the tested phases.

Conclusions:

Simplified EEG acquisition and analysis, coupled with the novel IHAR feature, significantly enhance the feasibility of person identification.
The AF3, AF4, F7, F8 electrode configuration with kNN offers a user-friendly yet high-performance solution for EEG-based biometrics.
Further research into optimizing electrode selection and leveraging different phases of EEG signals could lead to even more robust identification systems.
