Abstract :
This paper proposes a new biometric identifier for humans based on eye blinking waveform extracted from brain waves. Brain waves were recorded using Neurosky Mindwave headset from 25 volunteers. Two approaches are adopted for the pre-processing stage; the first approach uses empirical mode decomposition to isolate electro-oculogram signal from brain waves, then, extracts eye blinking signal. The second approach extracts eye blinking signal directly from brain waves. Features are extracted based on time delineation of the eye blinking waveform and classified using linear discriminant analysis. The best correct identification and equal error rates achieved are 98.51% and 2.5% for identification and verification modes respectively. The obtained results in this paper confirm that eye blinking waveform carries discriminant information and is therefore appropriate as a basis for human recognition task.
