Future identity authentication allows us to use "brains" or to identify people's mental states.

Technology has developed to this day, artificial intelligence is getting closer and closer to us. Yida suddenly has a feeling that various science fiction will soon enter the reality. What happens to the black technology Yida will express a slight smile, absolutely not Pumping, such as today's future identity certification, Ida is really racking his brains and do not know how to express this word, so I have to borrow the wisdom of predecessors, today we use "fingerprint" to identify, in the future we use "brain "brainprint" recognition!

Today, we use a variety of encryption and authentication systems in some high-confidence applications, such as iris recognition authentication, voice recognition authentication, and now the standard fingerprint recognition system on the thousands of smart phones. These certification methods have greatly enhanced our information security. However, it seems that the recognition rate of each method still needs to be improved. For example, I yelled at a mobile phone for a long time. "The sesame opens the door", but it was rejected by the system. More importantly, these methods are not particularly safe, especially After watching many Hollywood blockbusters and cracking these high-tech encryption systems with fingerprint contact lenses in minutes, I feel that my fingerprints, irises, etc. will be copied in minutes, then my mobile game account is not a minute. Minutes were stolen. Fortunately, Yida is just a poor and sour, or God knows if something more horrible will happen.

Fortunately, there is now a more accurate identification system. According to the US Huffington Post on April 21, scientists at Binghamton University in New York are currently working on a groundbreaking study. With new discoveries, they have developed a new technology that recognizes identity information based on brain activity and is 100% accurate.

The researchers recorded their brain activity with EEG headsets when 50 volunteers watched specially selected images.

Sarah Laszlo, a psychologist at Binghamton University, said: "The principle of picture selection is to require pictures to be able to cause different reactions between people. Some pictures are selected according to the preliminary investigation. We are In the previous survey, participants were told about celebrities who loved or hated eating food, likes and hatred; according to this survey, we selected more extreme foods and celebrities."

The participants' brains react differently to each picture. Based on their brain's reaction to the picture, the computer program designed by the researchers was able to map out the "brain pattern", and each person was identified by the brain pattern researchers with an accuracy rate of 100%.

"Brain" has a natural advantage over fingerprints in identifying identity. For example, if a person's fingerprint is stolen, it is basically irreparable. Because the fingerprint is "irrevocable" but "brain pattern" can be, if in case of the case, a hacker steals the "brain pattern", then the authorized user can reset one, simply put it Picture, then set up a picture to reflect the reaction.

Does it sound amazing? But it's not over yet. It's just the first step. In the future, they are going to apply this technology further to Cognitive Biometrics, a technology that can quickly assess a person's mental state.

That is to say, in the future, if you want to enter some key areas of the system, it will not work through identity authentication. The system will also assess whether your mental state is suitable for accessing this information. If the assessment fails, then even I will be banned from entering. system. Think about the future if it is drunk driving or fatigue driving, it may be eliminated. Although it is the owner of the car, the system believes that drinking is not suitable for driving or driving.
