Summary:From the viewpoint of user management, on-demand biometric authentication is effective for achieving high-security. In such a case, unconscious biometrics is needed and we have studied to use a brain wave (Electroencephalogram: EEG). In this paper, we examine the performance of verification based on the EEG during a mental task. In particular, assuming the verification of computer users, we adopt the mental task where users are thinking of the contents of documents. From experimental results using 20 subjects, it is confirmed that the verification using the EEG is applicable even when the users are doing the mental task.
