Description

Kam and five co-authors published a 2026 PLOS ONE study on proving identity from the sound of the mouth. The method uses oral acoustic reflections, echoes that bounce inside a person's mouth and carry its unique shape. Such echoes could serve as a biometric, like a fingerprint. A mouth-based check could add a hard-to-copy layer to phone or door security.
