  • Getting drunk can make it harder to enter people's password--even if their brainwaves are their login. Brainwave authentication using electroencephalogram (EEG) readings is one of many biometric measures touted as an alternative to passwords. A computer could display a series of words on a screen and measure the user's response via an EEG headset. But while research suggests that EEG readings can authenticate someone's identity with around 94 per cent accuracy, there could be confounding factors--including whether they've had a few too many drinks.
