Abstract: This paper suggests a new biometric method of human verification based on muscle response following an electrical stimulation is presented in this study. The corresponding response is called M-wave. The goal is to study the possibility of using the M-wave signals to verify an individual. In this work, parameters are extracted by modeling the M-waves using wavelet networks. The radial basis neural network method is then used to classify these parameters. This method has been evaluated on a set of M-wave responses corresponding to normal individuals. Consequently, very encouraging results have been obtained.
