Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have discovered that a person’s unique pattern of nasal breathing can be used to identify them with an accuracy of 96.8%.
Their study revealed that nasal breathing patterns serve as highly individualized “signatures,” functioning similarly to voice biometrics in terms of identifying people.
The team also uncovered a powerful connection between breathing and brain activity, which could be used to glean insights into an individual’s physical and mental state, including factors such as body weight, anxiety, and depression levels.
