Your unique pattern of brain activity can be spotted in 100 seconds

A functional brain connectome Enrico Amico
Each person has a different pattern of brain activity, which can be identified by spending less than two minutes in a brain scanner.

A connectome is a summary or representation of the neural connections in a person's brain. It can be derived from brain scans. These maps are often depicted in multi-squared matrixes that are colour-coded to show which brain parts are in sync.

Enrico Amico, University of Geneva in Switzerland, and his colleagues looked into the brain imaging data of 100 individuals to determine who they were.
