Method and system for user authentication and identification using behavioral and emotional association consistency

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 physical behavioral response characteristics includes a polygraph machine, said user's response comprising polygraph measurement signals.

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.
