Person identification based on features extracted parametrically from the EEG spectrum is investigated in this work. The method proposed utilizes computational geometry algorithms (convex polygon intersections), appropriately modified, in order to classify unknown EEGs. The signal processing step includes EEG spectral analysis for feature extraction, by fitting a linear model of the AR type on the alpha rhythm EEG signal.The correct classification scores obtained on real EEG data experiments (91% in the worst case) are promising in that they corroborate existing evidence that EEG carries genetically specific information and is therefore appropriate as a basis for person identification methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
