Yeah, SSVEP has it's uses[1], but I don't think it would work well enough to identify various users with any sort of confidence. It would likely be easier to do

Yeah, SSVEP has it's uses[1], but I don't think it would work well enough to identify various users with any sort of confidence. It would likely be easier to do with showing an image (or series of such) that would present people with a very different emotional responses. This could be loved ones, childhood homes, etc. If you are curious in this stuff, I am pretty familiar with this stuff, and my startup[2] uses consumer EEG's regularly. Our single largest concern is actually signal correction due to movement / other environment factors[3].
