N2 - Use of non-stationary physiological signals for biometric verification, reduces the ability to forge. Such signals should be simple to acquire with inexpensive equipment. The beat-to-beat information embedded within the time intervals between consecutive heart beats is a non-stationary physiological signal; its potential for biometric verification has not been studied. This work introduces a biometric verification method termed “CompaRR”. Heartbeat was extracted from longitudinal recordings from 30 mice ranging from 6 to 24 months of age (equivalent to ~ 20–75 human years). Fifty heartbeats, which is close to resting human heartbeats in a minute, were sufficient for the verification task, achieving a minimal equal error rate of 0.21. When trained on 6-month-old mice and tested on unseen mice up to 18-months of age (equivalent to ~ 50 human years), no significant change in the verification performance was noted. Finally, when the model was trained on data from drug-treated mice, verification was still possible.
