Continuous biometrics using electroencephalography (EEG) has attracted noticeable amount of research for some time. Many state-of-the-art methods have been proposed and achieved satisfactory performances of more than 95 % in recognition rate. In particular, features based on spectral bands and functional connectivity have been preferred for their superior performance. Unlike majority of the previous research, this study chose to focus on the efficiency and ease of implementation. In this direction, we propose a new feature for EEG-based biometrics called the mean curve length (MCL), which is a simple measure of signal complexity based on the Katz fractal dimension. In this study, we evaluated its performance in person identification and authentication, and compared it with other features. For this, a large standard dataset comprising 109 subjects under the eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) resting state conditions was utilized. In order to keep the results realistic, minimal preprocessing was performed on the signals, and no subjects or channels were excluded based on their artifacts. A Mahalanobis distance-based classifier was employed for both identification and authentication tasks. For high-dimensional features such as functional connectivity metrics, we used principle component analysis to implement a modified Mahalanobis classifier incorporating dimensionality reduction. The results of our analyses indicated that MCL provides a remarkably high individual distinction comparable to the commonly preferred features, while being vastly more efficient. Specifically, the recognition accuracies were 99.4 % (EO) and 98.8 % (EC) for identification, and for authentication, the equal error percentages of 6.33 % (EO) and 10.50 % (EC) were obtained. Our study demonstrates MCL as a fast and accurate biometric feature that is promising for real-life and real-time applications. It promotes the effectiveness of nonlinear signal measures in individual discrimination, and encourages to look beyond the conventional time and frequency domain measures of brainwaves.

High-resolution multi-spectral imaging with diffractive lenses and learned reconstruction
Kar, Oguzhan Fatih; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Kamalabadi, Farzad; Bezek, Can Deniz (2021-01-01)
Spectral imaging is a fundamental diagnostic technique with widespread application. Conventional spectral imaging approaches have intrinsic limitations on spatial and spectral resolutions due to the physical components they rely on. To overcome these physical limitations, in this paper, we develop a novel multi-spectral imaging modality that enables higher spatial and spectral resolutions. In the developed computational imaging modality, we exploit a diffractive lens, such as a photon sieve, for both disper...
Fast and accurate semiautomatic haptic segmentation of brain tumor in 3D MRI images
Latifi-Navid, Masoud; Bilen, Murat; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Doğan, Musa; Altun, Adnan (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2016-01-01)
In this study, a novel virtual reality-based interactive method combined with the application of a graphical processing unit (GPU) is proposed for the semiautomatic segmentation of 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. The key point of our approach is to use haptic force feedback guidance for the selection of seed points in a bounded volume with similar intensity and gradient. For the automatic determination of a bounded volume of segmentation in real time, parallel computation on the GPU is use...
Statistical disease detection with resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging
Öztürk, Ebru; İlk Dağ, Özlem; Department of Statistics (2017)
Most of the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data are based on a particular task. The fMRI data are obtained while the subject performs a task. Yet, it's obvious that the brain is active even when the subject is not performing a task. Resting state fMRI (R-fMRI) is a comparatively new and popular technique for assessing regional interactions when a subject is not performing a task. This study focuses on classifying subjects as healthy or diseased with the diagnosis of schizophrenia by analyzing ...
Fast 3D reconstruction from medical image series based on thresholding method Eşikleme metodunu kullanarak medikal görüntü serisinden hizli 3 boyutlu model oluşturma
Öz, Sinan; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2010-07-15)
Many practical applications in the field of medical image processing need valid, reliable and fast image segmentation. In this study, we propose a semi-automatic segmentation approach. In this approach, an extended version of the Otsu's method for three level thresholding and a recursive connected component algorithm are combined. The segmentation process is accomplished using Extended Otsu's method and labeling in each consecutive slice. Extended Otsu's method is a thresholding method selecting two thresho...
