Abstract: In line with current developments, biometrics is becoming an important technology that enables safer identification of individuals and more secure access to sensitive information and assets. Researchers have recently started exploring electroencephalography (EEG) as a biometric modality thanks to the uniqueness of EEG signals. A new architecture for a convolutional neural network (CNN) that uses EEG signals is suggested in this paper for biometric identification. A CNN does not need complex signal pre-processing, feature extraction, and feature selection stages. The EEG datasets utilized in this research are the resting state eyes open (REO) and the resting state eyes closed (REC) EEG. Extensive experiments were performed to design this deep CNN architecture. These experiments showed that a CNN architecture with eleven layers (eight convolutional layers, one average pooling layer, and two fully connected layers) with an Adam optimizer resulted in the highest accuracy. The CNN architecture proposed here was compared to existing models for biometrics using the same dataset. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the other task-free paradigm CNN biometric identification models, with an identification accuracy of 98.54%.
