One-Step, Three-Factor Passthought Authentication With Custom-Fit, In-Ear EEG.

In-ear EEG offers a promising path toward usable, discreet brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for both healthy individuals and persons with disabilities. To test the promise of this modality, we produced a brain-based authentication system using custom-fit EEG earpieces. In a sample of = 7 participants, we demonstrated that our system has high accuracy, higher than prior work using non-custom earpieces.

Passthoughts authentication with low cost EarEEG.

Personal and wearable computing are moving toward smaller and more seamless devices. We explore how this trend could be mirrored in an authentication scheme based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals collected from the ear. We evaluate this model using a low cost, single-channel, consumer grade device for data collection.
