Swabey, M., Beeby, S., Brown, A. and Chad, J. (2004) Using Otoacoustic Emissions as a Biometric. In: First International Conference on Biometric Authentication (ICBA 2004), 15-17th July 2004, Hong Kong. pp. 600-606.

Abstract

This paper presents research into using otoacoustic emissions
(OAE) as a biometric. OAE are a group of sounds emitted by the cochlea
of the ear. The main types are spontaneous OAE which are continuously
emitted and the transient and distortion product types which are emitted
after stimulation. In this paper the characteristics of OAE are examined to determine the
most suitable emission for use as a physiological biometric. The uniqueness
of transient OAE are characterised from a data set of 2009 random
individuals by a closed rank test. Details of a low-cost portable prototype
OAE acquisition system developed at Southampton University are
discussed.
