Berkeley researchers authenticate your identity with just your brainwaves, replace passwords with passthoughts

In the future, instead of trying to type your mixed-case, numbers-and-punctuation on a painfully small smartphone screen, logging in might be as simple as thinking of your password -- or passthoughts, if you will. This finding, which comes from UC Berkeley, essentially turns your brain activity into a biometric identifier. In much the same way that your DNA or the blood vessels in your retina are unique, your brainwaves also seem to be unique and can be used to identify you -- useful, if you want to log into a computer, or otherwise prove your identity.
