brain plasticity: brain EEG's like finger prints (Introduction)

The proof of my contention that we control our brains (Romansh take note) is shown in this study of EEG's on 50 volunteers who could be identified 100% by the patterns elicited by challenges:-https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160418120608.htm-"A team of researchers has recorded the brain activity of 50 people wearing an electroencephalogram headset while they looked at a series of 500 images designed specifically to elicit unique responses from person to person, for instance, a slice of pizza, a boat, Anne Hathaway, the word 'conundrum.' They found that participants' brains reacted differently to each image, enough that a computer system was able to identify each volunteer's 'brainprint' with 100 percent accuracy.-***-"In their original study, titled "Brainprint," published in 2015 in Neurocomputing, the research team was able to identify one person out of a group of 32 by that person's responses, with only 97 percent accuracy, and that study only incorporated words, not images.-"'It's a big deal going from 97 to 100 percent because we imagine the applications for this technology being for high-security situations, like ensuring the person going into the Pentagon or the nuclear launch bay is the right person," said Laszlo. "You don't want to be 97 percent accurate for that, you want to be 100 percent accurate."-"According to Laszlo, brain biometrics are appealing because they are cancellable and cannot be stolen by malicious means the way a finger or retina can. The results suggest that brainwaves could be used by security systems to verify a person's identity."-Comment: I'm not interested in the security aspect, but the fact that we are born with malleable instrument that we fashion after ourselves as we develop.
