SignEEG v1.0 : Multimodal Electroencephalography and Signature Database for Biometric Systems

Noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG) is a method for measuring electrical brain activity from the surface of the scalp. Recent developments in artificial intelligence accelerate the automatic recognition of brain patterns, allowing more reliable and increasingly faster Brain-Computer interfaces, including biometric applications. Biometric research is also focusing on multimodal systems using EEG along with other modalities. This paper presents a new multimodal SignEEG v1.0 dataset based on EEG and hand-drawn signatures from 70 subjects. EEG signals and hand-drawn signatures have been collected with Emotiv Insight and Wacom One sensors, respectively. The multimodal data consists of three paradigms with increasing brain functioning: (i) visualizing a signature image, (ii) doing a signature in mind, and (iii) physically drawing a signature. Extensive experiments have been done in order to provide a solid baseline with machine learning classifiers. We release the raw, pre-processed data and easy-to-follow implementation details. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
