Constant spread of Internet makes efficient remote authentication a pressing issue while the distributed nature of interaction introduces additional difficulties. Authentication methods based on most biometrics techniques require dedicated hardware that is unhandy for remote applications. In contrast keystroke dynamics requires only limited dedicated software and does not require any dedicated hardware. The approach we propose is aimed at efficient user authentication with keystroke dynamics using short fixed text, that may for example occur simultaneously to logging process. We have tested the suggested approach on a large group of individuals, with data gathered over Internet using browser-based WWW application. The obtained results are promising and encourage further development in this area.","PeriodicalId":137627,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128663990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an indicator of rCBF, the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration (oxy-Hb) was adopted, as measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. In all, eight subjects participated in Experiment 1: we compared effects of music and noise played at three sound pressures. A significant decrease in rCBF was found in most subjects when listening to music at ca. 65 dB. Linear regression of evaluated items of impression against changes in rCBF was conducted, revealing that absorption had the largest coefficient of determination. In Experiment 2, two of the eight subjects compared effects of music of various kinds. Linear regression revealed the same results as Experiment 1, suggesting that some regions near the prefrontal cortex become active when a listener is absorbed in listening to music.","PeriodicalId":137627,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134177489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subjects were nine healthy college students (male). The experiment was divided into three periods. The first was the baseline period of six minutes during which the students remained seated. During the second period the students exercised for twelve minutes on an exercise bike. In the final period, lasting twelve minutes, the students were seated again during which time they were exposed to a number of different odors. Students' breathing was also varied and checked, the breathing divided into either students' natural breathing cycle, or inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. Odors rated 'pleasant' by the students did not result in any changes in their respiratory metabolism. However, exposure to unpleasant odors resulted in significant change in the respiratory metabolism during the recovery period. The results of the experiment suggest that the exposure to an unpleasant odor, combined with breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth, had a notable effect on the student's respiratory metabolism.","PeriodicalId":137627,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123297459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
