However, the EEG signal is highly vulnerable to interferences, electrode placement, and temporary conditions, which can lead to overestimated assessments of the considered methods. Our study examined how different numbers of distinct recording sessions used as training sessions would affect EEG-based verification. We analyzed the original data from 29 participants with 20 distinct recorded sessions each, as well as 23 additional impostors with only one session each. We applied raw coefficients of power spectral density estimate, and the coefficients of power spectral density estimate converted to the decibel scale, as the input to a shallow neural network. Our study showed that the variance introduced by multiple recording sessions affects sensitivity. We also showed that increasing the number of sessions above eight did not improve the results under our conditions. For 15 training sessions, the achieved accuracy was 96.7 \u00b1 4.2%, and for eight training sessions and 12 test sessions, it was 94.9 \u00b1 4.6%. For 15 training sessions, the rate of successful impostor attacks over all attack attempts was 3.1 \u00b1 2.2%, but this number was not significantly different from using six recording sessions for training. Our findings indicate the need to include data from multiple recording sessions in EEG-based recognition for training, and that increasing the number of test sessions did not significantly affect the obtained results. Although the presented results are for the resting-state, they may serve as a baseline for other paradigms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23042057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T02:14:11Z","timestamp":1676254451000},"page":"2057","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Leveraging Multiple Distinct EEG Training Sessions for Improvement of Spectral-Based Biometric Verification Results"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Renata","family":"Pluci\u0144ska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Electronic Systems, Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, 00-665 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4303-9450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konrad","family":"J\u0119drzejewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Electronic Systems, Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, 00-665 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Urszula","family":"Malinowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, 02-093 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5298-920X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacek","family":"Rogala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, 02-093 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"527","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01797193","article-title":"\u00dcber das Elektrenkephalogramm des Menschen","volume":"87","author":"Berger","year":"1929","journal-title":"Arch.
