A new study reveals that each person's breathing pattern is unique, akin to fingerprints or voices, allowing researchers to identify individuals based solely on their breath. Conducted over two years with 100 participants, the study utilized a portable device to continuously record airflow through nostrils, linking breathing patterns to physical and mental health indicators like body mass index and anxiety levels. With artificial intelligence and statistical tools, researchers could identify 97% of participants by their nasal airflow alone, showcasing the untapped potential of breathing in understanding brain functions in mammals.
Every human has a unique and consistent nasal breathing pattern, so consistent that it's possible to identify someone solely by the way they breathe.
The respiratory fingerprint holds enormous potential for science to better understand the mystery of brain function in mammals.
This research shows that breathing patterns can reveal information about a person's physical and mental health, from body mass index to levels of anxiety or depression.
We consider it a brain indicator, explains Noam Sobel, a co-author of the study, reflecting an unexplored avenue in breathing analysis.
