Abstract
This paper investigates a method to generate personal identification number (PIN) using brain activity recorded from a single active electroencephalogram (EEG) channel. EEG based biometric to generate PIN is less prone to fraud and the method is based on the recent developments in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, specifically P300 based BCI designs. Our perfect classification accuracies from three subjects indicate promise for generating PIN using thought activity measured from a single channel.
