First Claim
1. A wearable electronic device for enabling access to a transit system, the wearable electronic device comprising:
- an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor configured to detect EEG signals corresponding to a transit user;
a device transmitter configured to transmit wireless signals to a gate receiver of a transit gate; and
a device processor configured to perform operations comprising;
receiving, from the EEG sensor, a first EEG signal based at least in part on the transit user viewing a visual stimulus associated with the transit gate;
analyzing the first EEG signal to determine that the transit user is attempting to enter the transit system through the transit gate;
transmitting, to the gate receiver via the device transmitter, a first wireless signal indicating that the transit user is attempting to enter the transit system through the transit gate;
receiving, from the EEG sensor, a second EEG signal based at least in part on the transit user hearing an auditory stimulus associated with the transit gate;
analyzing the second EEG signal to determine that the transit user is passing through the transit gate; and
transmitting, to the gate receiver via the device transmitter, a second wireless signal indicating that the transit user is passing through the transit gate.

Abstract
A wearable electronic device comprising an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor for enabling access to a transit system. The device may also include a device transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit request signals to a transit gate. The device may further include a device processor configured to receive a first EEG signal from the EEG sensor and analyze the first EEG signal to determine that the transit user is attempting to enter the transit system through a particular transit gate. The device processor may also receive a second EEG signal and analyze the second EEG signal to determine that the transit user is currently passing through the particular gate. The first EEG signal may be based on the transit user viewing a visual stimulus displayed by the transit gate, and the second EEG signal may be based on the transit user hearing an auditory stimulus outputted by the transit gate.
