Machine Learning Approaches for Detecting the Depression from Resting-State Electroencephalogram (EEG): A Review Study
share
In this paper, we aimed at reviewing present literature on employing nonlinear analysis in combination with machine learning methods, in depression detection or prediction task. We are focusing on an affordable data-driven approach, applicable for everyday clinical practice, and in particular, those based on electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. Among those studies utilizing EEG, we are discussing a group of applications used for detecting the depression based on the resting state EEG (detection studies) and interventional studies (using stimulus in their protocols or aiming to predict the outcome of therapy). We conclude with a discussion and review of guidelines to improve the reliability of developed models that could serve the improvement of diagnostic and more accurate treatment of depression.
