Biometry: Technology, Trends and Applications
暫譯: 生物計量學：技術、趨勢與應用

生物識別技術提供人類特徵的定量表示，包括生理和行為特徵。本書是由墨西哥蒙特雷科技大學的各個研究小組開發的生物識別技術的彙編。它對生物識別系統進行了整體總結，解釋了生理和行為生物識別的原理，並探討了各種商業和實驗技術以及在安全、軍事、犯罪學、醫療保健教育、商業和市場營銷等領域的當前和未來應用。

本書提供了使用腦信號或腦電圖（EEG）的生物識別系統的例子。涵蓋了在兒童自然環境中使用的移動和家庭EEG。同時，一些例子專注於這種技術在監測兒童癲癇性腦病中的相關性。

利用可靠的生理信號獲取技術，功能性人機介面（HMI）和腦機介面（BCI）變得可能。這是一個用於輔助導航系統的HMI的案例，通過語音命令、頭部和眼睛運動進行控制。書中詳細描述了BCI框架，並探討了以用戶為中心的BCI應用，這些應用旨在康復、人類表現和治療監測。

大規模數據獲取在生物識別系統的演變中也扮演著重要角色。機器學習、深度學習和人工智慧（AI）在這裡是關鍵的盟友。它們允許構建模型，幫助早期診斷、癲癇發作檢測和以數據為中心的醫療決策。這些技術最終將導致對人類的更精確理解。
