Abstract

During the last decades, the biometric signal such as the face, fingerprints, and iris has been widely employed to identify the individual. Recently, electroencephalograms (EEG)-based user identification has received much attention. Up to now, many types of research have focused on deep learning-based approaches, which involves high storage, power, and computing resource. In this paper, a novel EEG-based user identification method is presented that can provide real-time and accurate recognition with a low computing resource. The main novelty is to describe the unique EEG pattern of an individual by fusing the temporal domain of single-channel features and channel-wise information. The channel-wise features are defined by symmetric matrices, the element of which is calculated by the Pearson correlation coefficient between two-pair channels. Channel-wise features are input to the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) for classification. To assess the verity of the proposed identification method, two well-known datasets were chosen, where the proposed method shows the best average accuracies of 98.55% and 99.84% on the EEGMMIDB and DEAP dataset, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in modeling the unique pattern of an individual’s brainwave.
