Topic covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Your Brain Pattern Could Be Your Password" "Pass-thoughts" can be used wirelessly to authenticate users. Password hints can trigger your memory and help you recall your code word. But future security systems may not need a word or a hint--they’ll just read your mind. A password system that tracks and authenticates your brain waves can actually work, according to a new study. Scientists still are uncertain as to whether someone’s thoughts could be duplicated or if the system could be easily hacked. There are also studies yet to be done about how brain patterns change over time. This method will probably not replace typed passwords on our computers in the very near future, considering the hardware that's required to make it work. However, with new wearable technology like Google Glass, passthoughts could still be useful for performing simpler brain-controlled tasks sometime soon. The study and use of our brainwaves for future technology may seem like someth
