Local user authentication with neuro and neuro-mechanical fingerprints

A method comprising:

• extracting a first neuro-mechanical fingerprint (NFP) associated with an authorized user,
• generating authorized user calibration parameters associated with the authorized user in response to the first neuro-mechanical fingerprint;
• extracting a second neuro-mechanical fingerprint associated with an unknown user or the authorized user;
• determining a match percentage of the second neuro-mechanical fingerprint in response to the authorized user calibration parameters;
• and
• controlling access to an electronic device in response to the match percentage.

A physiological authentication controller to control access to an electronic device, the physiological authentication controller comprising:

• a signal processing module to generate a neuro-mechanical fingerprint for a user;
• an authentication classifier module coupled in communication with the signal processing module, the authentication classifier module to generate a match percentage in response to the neuro-mechanical fingerprint and authorized user calibration parameters;
• and
• an authentication controller module coupled in communication with the authentication classifier module, the authentication controller module to control access to the electronic device in response to the match percentage and an access match level.
