Fingerprint lock? Science wants to use your brainwaves instead

newsoul73

A team of scientists is working on a way to use brainwaves as a biometric “password.”[br][br][ul][li]If the method were perfected, fingerprint and retinal scanning would be much less-effective than brainwave scans.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]However, the scan currently requires you to wear a headset, which makes the method unfeasible for general use for now.[br][/li][/ul][br] [br][br]Working at the University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Xu devised a headset that scans brainwaves and determines the unique patterns a person creates while looking at images. Within seconds, the person’s identity is confirmed which then “unlocks” the test.[br][br]To establish the original identity, the test subjects viewed images of animals and celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio in rapid succession, a total of four times. Subjects then came back five months later to test the “brain password.” Xu reported that the tests were 95 percent effective.[br][br]Obviously, for this system to work a headset is needed, which certainly would be pretty cumbersome if you wanted to do something simple like unlocking your smartphone. But Xu’s tests prove that brainwaves can be used as biometric identity confirmation, at least in theory.[br][br]Xu hopes that companies with grave concerns for privacy might be early adopters of the technology, assuming the overall process can be tweaked and made even more effective.[br][br][br]

i think it will not work perfectly as brain waves are changed when u r comfortable and tired and for BP and epilipsy patient.. it changes with ur mental exertion
