A new system will set aside fingerprints and facial credit , and start up doing wit scan as electropositive identification . Using brain imaging and a series of parole and trope , it will scan your mind to figure out if you ’re really you .
Facial recognition sounds sweet-smelling in theory , but in practice it has some problems . It take high - end equipment , like a keen photographic camera on your laptop . At the same time , it can beeasy to horse around . Whether or not it ’s the wave of the future for consumer electronics , it ’s now got competitor . Binghamton University has come up with abiometric identification system that scans your brainto figure out if you ’re really you .
The unconscious process involves popping on an EEG ( EEG ) cap and look on a series of 500 image , including words , celebrity faces , and round-eyed stock photograph . Each image flashes on the screen for only half a second . The EEG monitor your reaction to them , and contain them against exist reactions . If a bee flashes on the screen , a person who is powerfully allergic to bee stings will probably have a different reaction than a person who keeps bee for a living . As the number of images and reactions add together up , the chances of faking an identity go down . An early test positively identified one individual out of a radical of 32 between 82 and 97 percent of the time . The machine can now plunk one person out of 30 with 100 pct accuracy .
If the succeeder charge per unit continues , for encompassing and wider range of masses , this await like a great pick for surety systems . The down side is that it takes a lot of sentence and worry to “ sign in . ” grant , the system can solve with as little as three electrode , and at only half a second of time per image , it should n’t take too long to go through a large act of double . There is still the problem of archive the somebody ’s reactions to all those images in the first place .
This is n’t a matter of scanning fingermark or handing someone a password . In terms of who would buy and use it , this system is more Defcon 1 than iPhone 7 . But it ’s an interesting growth in biometrics . We ’d hump to see how citizenry would essay to chop it .
