“NEMO” research project: Anonymization method for EEG signals developed

Recording brain activity via electroencephalograms (EEGs) provides important insights for science and medicine. However, the individual data patterns also allow conclusions about specific individuals (“brainprints”). The “NEMO” project, coordinated by Fraunhofer IDMT, has researched technologies to enhance data protection while simultaneously improving the availability of EEG data for scientific research. The researchers’ approach aims to significantly reduce the risk of re-identification in recorded EEG data, while preserving relevant information for data analysis.
