Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biometrics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) biometrics leverage unique neural activity for individual identification.
  • Practical implementation of EEG biometrics faces challenges in usability and user-friendliness.
  • System evaluation increasingly focuses on user-driven metrics like effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the usability and performance of a consumer-grade EEG device for biometric authentication.
  • To compare two acquisition protocols: eyes-closed (EC) and visual stimulation.
  • To propose a reasonable acquisition period for effective EEG-based authentication.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a self-collected database from eight subjects, with recordings in morning and afternoon sessions.
  • Employed two tasks: eyes-closed (EC) and visual stimulation, for EEG data acquisition.
  • Processed EEG signals, computed pairwise correlations, formed feature vectors, and used Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification.

Main Results:

  • The eyes-closed (EC) protocol achieved an accuracy of 83.70-96.42%.
  • The visual stimulation protocol attained an accuracy of 87.64-99.06%.
  • Both protocols demonstrated high accuracy and reliability with consumer-grade EEG devices.

Conclusions:

  • Consumer-grade EEG devices are feasible and reliable for biometric authentication.
  • The proposed acquisition protocols (EC and visual stimulation) show significant potential for practical EEG-based biometric systems.
  • The study highlights the importance of usability in biometric system design, aligning with user requirements.
