In recent years, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have been used as a biometric modality, and EEG-based biometric systems have received increasing attention. However, due to the sensitive nature of EEG signals, the extraction of identity information through processing techniques may lead to some loss in the extracted identity information. This may impact the distinctiveness between subjects in the system. In this context, we propose a new self-relative evaluation framework for EEG-based biometric systems. The proposed framework aims at selecting a more accurate identity information when the biometric system is open to the enrollment of novel subjects. The experiments were conducted on publicly available EEG datasets collected from 108 subjects in a resting state with closed eyes. The results show that the openness condition is useful for selecting more accurate identity information.

AbstractThe study of Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based biometric has gained the attention of researchers due to the neurons’ unique electrical activity representation of an individual. However, the practical application of EEG-based biometrics is not currently widespread and there are some challenges to its implementation. Nowadays, the evaluation of a biometric system is user driven. Usability is one of the concerning issues that determine the success of the system. The basic elements of the usability of a biometric system are effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction. Apart from the mandatory consideration of the biometric system’s performance, users also need an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn authentication system. Thus, to satisfy these user requirements, this paper proposes a reasonable acquisition period and employs a consumer-grade EEG device to authenticate an individual to identify the performances of two acquisition protocols: eyes-closed (EC) and visual stimulation. A self-collected database of eight subjects was utilized in the analysis. The recording process was divided into two sessions, which were the morning and afternoon sessions. In each session, the subject was requested to perform two different tasks: EC and visual stimulation. The pairwise correlation of the preprocessed EEG signals of each electrode channel was determined and a feature vector was formed. Support vector machine (SVM) was then used for classification purposes. In the performance analysis, promising results were obtained, where EC protocol achieved an accuracy performance of 83.70–96.42% while visual stimulation protocol attained an accuracy performance of 87.64–99.06%. These results have demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of our acquisition protocols with consumer-grade EEG devices.

Abstract We present a new approach for a biometric system based on electroencephalographic (EEG) signals of resting-state, that can identify a subject and reject intruders with a minimal subset of EEG channels. To select features, we first use the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) or empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to decompose the EEG signals into a set of sub-bands, for which we compute the instantaneous and Teager energy and the Higuchi and Petrosian fractal dimensions for each sub-band. The obtained features are used as input for the local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm to create a model for each subject, with the aim of learning from it and rejecting instances not related to the subject in the model. In search of a minimal subset of EEG channels, we used a channel-selection method based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA)-III, designed with the objectives of minimizing the required number EEG channels and increasing the true acceptance rate (TAR) and true rejection rate (TRR). This method was tested on EEG signals from 109 subjects of the public motor movement/imagery dataset (EEGMMIDB) using the resting-state with the eyes-open and the resting-state with the eyes-closed. We were able to obtain a TAR of $$1.000 \pm 0.000$$ 1.000 ± 0.000 and TRR of $$0.998 \pm 0.001$$ 0.998 ± 0.001 using 64 EEG channels. More importantly, with only three channels, we were able to obtain a TAR of up to $$0.993 \pm 0.01$$ 0.993 ± 0.01 and a TRR of up to $$0.941 \pm 0.002$$ 0.941 ± 0.002 for the Pareto-front, using NSGA-III and DWT-based features in the resting-state with the eyes-open. In the resting-state with the eyes-closed, the TAR was $$0.997 \pm 0.02$$ 0.997 ± 0.02 and the TRR $$0.950 \pm 0.05,$$ 0.950 ± 0.05 , also using DWT-based features from three channels. These results show that our approach makes it possible to create a model for each subject using EEG signals from a reduced number of channels and reject most instances of the other 108 subjects, who are intruders in the model of the subject under evaluation. Furthermore, the candidates obtained throughout the optimization process of NSGA-III showed that it is possible to obtain TARs and TRRs above 0.900 using LOF and DWT- or EMD-based features with only one to three EEG channels, opening the way to testing this approach on bigger datasets to develop a more realistic and usable EEG-based biometric system.

The electroencephalogram (EEG) has been proven to be a promising technique for personal identification and verification. Recently, the aperiodic component of the power spectrum was shown to outperform other commonly used EEG features. Beyond that, EEG characteristics may capture relevant features related to emotional states. In this work, we aim to understand if the aperiodic component of the power spectrum, as shown for resting-state experimental paradigms, is able to capture EEG-based subject-specific features in a naturalistic stimuli scenario. In order to answer this question, we performed an analysis using two freely available datasets containing EEG recordings from participants during viewing of film clips that aim to trigger different emotional states. Our study confirms that the aperiodic components of the power spectrum, as evaluated in terms of offset and exponent parameters, are able to detect subject-specific features extracted from the scalp EEG. In particular, our results show that the performance of the system was significantly higher for the film clip scenario if compared with resting-state, thus suggesting that under naturalistic stimuli it is even easier to identify a subject. As a consequence, we suggest a paradigm shift, from task-based or resting-state to naturalistic stimuli, when assessing the performance of EEG-based biometric systems.

Single biometric modalities like facial features and vein patterns despite being reliable characteristics show limitations that restrict them from offering high performance and robustness. Multimodal biometric systems have gained interest due to their ability to overcome the inherent limitations of the underlying single biometric modalities and generally have been shown to improve the overall performance for identification and recognition purposes. This paper proposes highly accurate and robust multimodal biometric identification as well as recognition systems based on fusion of face and finger vein modalities. The feature extraction for both face and finger vein is carried out by exploiting deep convolutional neural networks. The fusion process involves combining the extracted relevant features from the two modalities at score level. The experimental results over all considered public databases show a significant improvement in terms of identification and recognition accuracy as well as equal error rates.

Deep Learning Model

Deep learning (DL) methods have been used increasingly widely, such as in the fields of speech and image recognition. However, how to design an appropriate DL model to accurately and efficiently classify electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is still a challenge, mainly because EEG signals are characterized by significant differences between two different subjects or vary over time within a single subject, non-stability, strong randomness, low signal-to-noise ratio. SincNet is an efficient classifier for speaker recognition, but it has some drawbacks in dealing with EEG signals classification. In this paper, we improve and propose a SincNet-based classifier, SincNet-R, which consists of three convolutional layers, and three deep neural network (DNN) layers. We then make use of SincNet-R to test the classification accuracy and robustness by emotional EEG signals. The comparable results with original SincNet model and other traditional classifiers such as CNN, LSTM and SVM, show that our proposed SincNet-R model has higher classification accuracy and better algorithm robustness.

It is known that aging affects neuroplasticity. On the other hand, neuroplasticity can be studied by analyzing the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. An important challenge in brain research is to study the variations of neuroplasticity during aging for patients suffering from epilepsy. This study investigates the variations of the complexity of EEG signal during aging for patients with epilepsy. For this purpose, we employed fractal dimension as an indicator of process complexity. We classified the subjects in different age groups and computed the fractal dimension of their EEG signals. Our investigations showed that as patients get older, their EEG signal will be more complex. The method of investigation that has been used in this study can be further employed to study the variations of EEG signal in case of other brain disorders during aging.

Abstract To automatically detect dynamic EEG signals to reduce the time cost of epilepsy diagnosis. In the signal recognition of electroencephalogram (EEG) of epilepsy, traditional machine learning and statistical methods require manual feature labeling engineering in order to show excellent results on a single data set. And the artificially selected features may carry a bias, and cannot guarantee the validity and expansibility in real-world data. In practical applications, deep learning methods can release people from feature engineering to a certain extent. As long as the focus is on the expansion of data quality and quantity, the algorithm model can learn automatically to get better improvements. In addition, the deep learning method can also extract many features that are difficult for humans to perceive, thereby making the algorithm more robust. Based on the design idea of ResNeXt deep neural network, this paper designs a Time-ResNeXt network structure suitable for time series EEG epilepsy detection to identify EEG signals. The accuracy rate of Time-ResNeXt in the detection of EEG epilepsy can reach 91.50%. The Time-ResNeXt network structure produces extremely advanced performance on the benchmark dataset (Berne-Barcelona dataset) and has great potential for improving clinical practice.
