Method and system for user authentication and identification using behavioral and emotional association consistency
First Claim
1. A method for determining the identity of a person comprising:
- a prior enrollment stage including steps of;
a) applying a stimulus to a user of the person to be identified;
b) applying a sensor means for detecting one or more of that user'"'"'s emotional, behavioral or physiological response to said stimulus;
c) generating a model representing that user'"'"'s emotional, behavioral or physiological response to said stimulus and storing said model; and
,a subsequent recognition stage including the step of;
d) presenting said stimulus to the user to be identified;
e) detecting one or more of that user'"'"'s emotional, behavioral or physiological response to said stimulus;
f) comparing said emotional, behavioral or physiological response with said stored user'"'"'s model representing the emotional, behavioral or physiological response for that user; and
,g) determining whether said user is the same if a match exists as a result of said comparison,wherein said sensor means for detecting a user'"'"'s behavioral response comprises an Electroencephalograph (EEG), wherein said user'"'"'s response comprises EEG signals.

Abstract
A system and method for determining and authenticating a person'"'"'s identity by generating a behavioral profile for that person by presenting that person with various stimulus and measuring that person'"'"'s response characteristics in an enrollment stage. That person'"'"'s response profile, once generated is stored. When that user subsequently needs to access a secure resource, that user to be authorized is presented with the stimulus that was presented at the time of generating that person'"'"'s behavioral profile and the person'"'"'s responses are detected and compared to his/her behavioral profile. If a match is detected, that user is identified. The user'"'"'s behavioral response may be in the form of signals as detected by sensor means that detects visual or audible emotional cues or as signals resulting from that person'"'"'s behavior as detected by polygraph or EEG devices.

8. A system for determining the identity of a person, comprising:
-
a) means for applying a stimulus to a user of the person to be identified during a prior enrollment stage and during a subsequent recognition stage; b) means for detecting one or more of that user'"'"'s emotional, behavioral or physiological response during both said enrollment and subsequent recognition stages; c) means for generating a model representing that user'"'"'s response to said stimulus during said prior enrollment stage and storing said model; and d) means for comparing said user'"'"'s emotional, behavioral or physiological response with said stored user'"'"'s model representing the response for that user, whereby an identity of said user maybe confirmed if a match exists as a result of said comparison, wherein said sensor means for detecting a user'"'"'s physical response characteristics includes an Electroencephalograph (EEG), said behavioral response comprising EEG signals. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 14)
