This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 will support Morphosis Inc.'s development and evaluation of a novel biometric authentication technology for continuous identity verification in human-computer interactions. The project aims to create a new form of real-time authentication that uses wearable neural interfaces to capture unique neuromuscular activity patterns as a biometric "watermark" to verify user identity during digital interactions. This approach seeks to enhance digital security by providing a more secure and streamlined alternative to legacy authentication methods like passwords, which are susceptible to compromise. The project will commercialize this fundamentally new biometric authentication approach to mitigate cyber threats and enable more secure human-machine interfacing. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025.
