Fingerprints still the way to go

Security measures of the biometric kind have long hinged on fingerprints and retina scans, but in the name of improvement, are there any other viable methods that offer a more effective way? The brains at the University of Cambridge are currently working on an electroencephalogram authentication system that identifies the unique neural pathway of an individual before allowing access to a computer. Unfortunately, initial tests show an accuracy of 88% while traditional strongholds like fingerprint scans and iris scans boast an accuracy rate of 95% and 99.8% respectively. They’re probably on a wild goose chase with this, but hopefully the results of the research could be applied in a different area that benefits mankind.
