Abstract:
1. A method for processing data to provide positive identification of a person, comprising: acquiring a plurality of sets of data for at least one channel of human brain wave data from at least one first person for the purpose of providing an enrollment signature; acquiring a plurality of sets of data for at least one channel of human brain wave data from at least one second person for the purpose of providing a test signature; computing at least one measure of dissimilarity between the enrollment signature and the test signature for distribution functions derived from at least one of a connected phase space and a non-connected phase space; comparing said measure of dissimilarity to a threshold in which exceeding the threshold results in non-confirmation of an identity of the second person being also an identity of the first person and in which not exceeding the threshold results in confirmation of the identity of the second person being also the identity of the first person; and signaling an observer that the second person's identity has either been confirmed or not confirmed.
