Just a few days ago, <strong>Apple<\/strong> released on to the market its iPhone 5, a model that has <strong>integrated the Touch ID technology<\/strong>, this time designed by Authen Tec. (a company which Apple acquired last year).<\/p>\n<p>In technological terms, today\u2019s news takes us a little further. An <strong>electronics engineer<\/strong> (Isao Nakanishi) from the <strong>Tottori University in Japan<\/strong> has, together with his colleagues, designed a <strong>theft-prevention system for cars<\/strong>, which <strong>uses brain waves<\/strong> to <strong>confirm <\/strong>that the person about to use the car is in fact the <strong>owner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The system <strong>measures the electrical activity signals<\/strong> from the brain (EEG) of the person who enters the car and <strong>compares them<\/strong> with those previously stored in a database, for example the owner\u2019s. If the data don\u2019t match those on the file, <strong>the vehicle is disabled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers suggest that the system could also be very useful for preventing robberies of vehicles transporting <strong>valuable goods<\/strong> or of <strong>public transport vehicles<\/strong>. Moreover, the system\u2019s prototype can <strong>tell if a driver is falling asleep <\/strong>at the wheel or <strong>if he or she has consumed alcohol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There is considerable interest in the new technology because of its <strong>possible applications, among them, as we have mentioned<\/strong>, as a security system for <strong>mobile devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1323\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1323\" style=\"width: 507px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1323 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1_development-of-a-new-system-of-identification-using-brain-wave-readings.jpg\" alt=\"Image from Flickr.
