— Can you change it? — No. — It won't replace passwords.

  "“Fingerprints are ‘non-cancellable.’ Brainprints, on the other hand, are potentially cancellable." I still don't like the idea of using identity for authentication.

  Also: — Can I give it to the bad guy when I'm being held at gunpoint? — No. — It won't replace passwords. Although apparently it can be "changed": https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/06/yet_another_new_1.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/06/yet_another_n... "If someone's fingerprint is stolen, that person can't just grow a new finger to replace the compromised fingerprint -- the fingerprint for that person is compromised forever. Fingerprints are 'non-cancellable.' Brainprints, on the other hand, are potentially cancellable. So, in the unlikely event that attackers were actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user, the authorized user could then 'reset' their brainprint," Laszlo said. Presumably the resetting involves a new set of acronyms.

  Maybe you can't change the brains reaction to the same stimuli, but you've totally forgotten that you can change the stimuli itself to create a new print.
