Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurological disorders arise primarily from the dysfunction of brain cells, leading to various impairments. Electroencephalography (EEG) stands out as the most popular method in the discovery of neuromarkers indicating neurological disorders. The proposed study investigates the effectiveness of spectral and synchrony neuromarkers derived from resting state EEG in the detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) with controls. NEW METHODS The dataset is composed of 10 MCI and 10 HC groups. Spectral features and synchrony measures are utilized to detect slowing patterns in MCI. Efficient neuro-markers are classified by 25 classification algorithm. Independent samples t-test and Pearson's Correlation Coefficients are applied to reveal group differences for spectral markers, and repeated measures ANOVA is tested for wPLI-based markers. RESULTS Lower peak amplitudes are prominent in MCI participants for high frequencies indicating slower physiological behavior of the demented EEG. The MCI and HC groups are correctly classified with 95 % acc. using peak amplitudes of beta band with LGBM classifier. Higher wPLI values are calculated for HC participants in high frequencies. The alpha wPLI values achieve a classification accuracy of 99 % using the LGBM algorithm for MCI detection. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS The neuro-markers including peak amplitudes, frequencies, and wPLIs with advanced machine learning techniques showcases the innovative nature of this research. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that peak amplitudes and wPLI in high frequency bands derived from resting state EEG are effective neuromarkers for detection of MCI. Spectral and synchrony neuro-markers hold great promise for accurate MCI detection.

Abstract
In recent years, electroencephalography (EEG) has been investigated for identifying brain disorders. This technique involves placing multiple electrodes (channels) on the scalp to measure the brain's activities. This study focuses on accurately detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the recorded EEG signals. To achieve this, this study first introduced discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based approaches to generate reliable biomarkers for MCI. These approaches decompose each channel's signal using DWT into a set of distinct frequency band signals, then extract features using a non-linear measure such as band power, energy, or entropy. Various machine learning approaches then classify the generated features. We investigated these methods on EEGs recorded using 19 channels from 29 MCI patients and 32 healthy subjects. In the second step, the study explored the possibility of decreasing the number of EEG channels while preserving, or even enhancing, classification accuracy. We employed multi-objective optimization techniques, such as the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), to achieve this. The results show that the generated DWT-based features resulted in high full-channel classification accuracy scores. Furthermore, selecting fewer channels carefully leads to better accuracy scores. For instance, with a DWT-based approach, the full-channel accuracy achieved was 99.84%. With only four channels selected by NSGA-II, NSGA-III, or PSO, the accuracy increased to 99.97%. Furthermore, NSGA-II selects five channels, achieving an accuracy of 100%. The results show that the suggested DWT-based approaches are promising to detect MCI, and picking the most useful EEG channels makes the accuracy even higher. The use of a small number of electrodes paves the way for EEG-based diagnosis in clinical practice.

Abstract
Effective management of dementia requires the timely detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This paper introduces a multi-objective optimization approach for selecting EEG channels (and features) for the purpose of detecting MCI. Firstly, each EEG signal from each channel is decomposed into subbands using either variational mode decomposition (VMD) or discrete wavelet transform (DWT). A feature is then extracted from each subband using one of the following measures: standard deviation, interquartile range, band power, Teager energy, Katz's and Higuchi's fractal dimensions, Shannon entropy, sure entropy, or threshold entropy. Different machine learning techniques are used to classify the features of MCI cases from those of healthy controls. The classifier's performance is validated using leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) cross-validation (CV). The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA)-II is designed with the aim of minimizing the number of EEG channels (or features) and maximizing classification accuracy. The performance is evaluated using a publicly available online dataset containing EEGs from 19 channels recorded from 24 participants. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in performance when utilizing the NSGA-II algorithm. By selecting only a few appropriate EEG channels, the LOSO CV-based results show a significant improvement compared to using all 19 channels. Additionally, the outcomes indicate that accuracy can be further improved by selecting suitable features from different channels. For instance, by combining VMD and Teager energy, the SVM accuracy obtained using all channels is 74.24%. Interestingly, when only five channels are selected using NSGA-II, the accuracy increases to 91.56%. The accuracy is further improved to 95.28% when using only 8 features selected from 7 channels. This demonstrates that by choosing informative features or channels while excluding noisy or irrelevant information, the impact of noise is reduced, resulting in improved accuracy. These promising findings indicate that, with a limited number of channels and features, accurate diagnosis of MCI is achievable, which opens the door for its application in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is one of the essential measures to prevent its further development into Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this paper, we propose a hybrid deep learning model for early diagnosis of MCI, called spatio-temporal convolutional gated recurrent unit network (STCGRU). METHODS The STCGRU comprises three bespoke convolutional neural network (CNN) modules and a bi-directional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) module, which can effectively extract the spatial and temporal features of EEG and obtain excellent diagnostic results. We use a publicly available EEG dataset that has not undergone pre-processing to verify the robustness and accuracy of the model. Ablation experiments on STCGRU are conducted to showcase the individual performance improvement of each module. RESULTS Compared with other state-of-the-art approaches using the same publicly available EEG dataset, the results show that STCGRU is more suitable for early diagnosis of MCI. After 10-fold cross-validation, the average classification accuracy of the hybrid model reached 99.95 %, while the average kappa value reached 0.9989. CONCLUSIONS The experimental results show that the hybrid model proposed in this paper can directly extract compelling spatio-temporal features from the raw EEG data for classification. The STCGRU allows for accurate diagnosis of patients with MCI and has a high practical value.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) accounts for the majority of dementia, and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is the early stage of AD. Early and accurate diagnosis of dementia plays a vital role in more targeted treatments and effectively halting disease progression. However, the clinical diagnosis of dementia requires various examinations, which are expensive and require a high level of expertise from the doctor. In this paper, we proposed a classification method based on multi-modal data including Electroencephalogram (EEG), eye tracking and behavioral data for early diagnosis of AD and MCI. Paradigms with various task difficulties were used to identify different severity of dementia: eye movement task and resting-state EEG tasks were used to detect AD, while eye movement task and delayed match-to-sample task were used to detect MCI. Besides, the effects of different features were compared and suitable EEG channels were selected for the detection. Furthermore, we proposed a data augmentation method to enlarge the dataset, designed an extra ERPNet feature extract layer to extract multi-modal features and used domain-adversarial neural network to improve the performance of MCI diagnosis. We achieved an average accuracy of 88.81% for MCI diagnosis and 100% for AD diagnosis. The results of this paper suggest that our classification method can provide a feasible and affordable way to diagnose dementia.

Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a neuropsychological syndrome that is characterized by cognitive impairments. It typically affects adults 60 years of age and older. It is a noticeable decline in the cognitive function of the patient, and if left untreated it gets converted to Alzheimer's disease (AD). For that reason, early diagnosis of MCI is important as it slows down the conversion of the disease to AD. Early and accurate diagnosis of MCI requires recognition of the clinical characteristics of the disease, extensive testing, and long-term observations. These observations and tests can be subjective, expensive, incomplete, or inaccurate. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a powerful choice for the diagnosis of diseases with its advantages such as being non-invasive, based on findings, less costly, and getting results in a short time. In this study, a new EEG-based model is developed which can effectively detect MCI patients with higher accuracy. For this purpose, a dataset consisting of EEG signals recorded from a total of 34 subjects, 18 of whom were MCI and 16 control groups was used, and their ages ranged from 40 to 77. To conduct the experiment, the EEG signals were denoised using Multiscale Principal Component Analysis (MSPCA), and to increase the size of the dataset Data Augmentation (DA) method was performed. The tenfold cross-validation method was used to validate the model, moreover, the power spectral density (PSD) of the EEG signals was extracted from the EEG signals using three spectral analysis methods, the periodogram, welch, and multitaper. The PSD graphs of the EEG signals showed signal differences between the subjects of control and the MCI group, indicating that the signal power of MCI patients is lower compared to control groups. To classify the subjects, one of the best classifiers of deep learning algorithms called the Bi-directional long-short-term-memory (Bi-LSTM) was used, and several machine learning algorithms, such as decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). These algorithms were trained and tested using the extracted feature vectors from the control and the MCI groups. Additionally, the values of the coefficient matrix of those algorithms were compared and evaluated with the performance evaluation matrix to determine which one performed the best overall. According to the experimental results, the proposed deep learning model of multitaper spectral analysis approach with Bi-LSTM deep learning algorithm attained the highest number of correctly classified samples for diagnosing MCI patients and achieved a remarkable accuracy compared to the other proposed models. The achieved classification results of the deep learning model are reported to be 98.97% accuracy, 98.34% sensitivity, 99.67% specificity, 99.70% precision, 99.02% f1 score, and 97.94% Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early discrimination and prediction of cognitive decline are crucial for the study of neurodegenerative mechanisms and interventions to promote cognitive resiliency. METHODS Our research is based on resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) and the current dataset includes 137 consensus-diagnosed, community-dwelling Black Americans (ages 60-90 years, 84 healthy controls [HC]; 53 mild cognitive impairment [MCI]) recruited through Wayne State University and Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. We conducted multiscale analysis on time-varying brain functional connectivity and developed an innovative soft discrimination model in which each decision on HC or MCI also comes with a connectivity-based score. RESULTS The leave-one-out cross-validation accuracy is 91.97% and 3-fold accuracy is 91.17%. The 9 to 18 months' progression trend prediction accuracy over an availability-limited subset sample is 84.61%. CONCLUSION The EEG-based soft discrimination model demonstrates high sensitivity and reliability for MCI detection and shows promising capability in proactive prediction of people at risk of MCI before clinical symptoms may occur.

Abstract
Purpose Mental health issues of young minds are at the threshold of all development and possibilities. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), separation anxiety disorder (SAD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are three of the most common mental illness affecting children and adolescents. Several studies have been conducted on approaches for recognising OCD, SAD and ADHD, but their accuracy is inadequate due to limited features and participants. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the approach using machine learning (ML) algorithms with 1474 features from Australia's nationally representative mental health survey of children and adolescents. Methods Based on the internal cross-validation (CV) score of the Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool (TPOTClassifier), the dataset has been examined using three of the most optimal algorithms, including Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), and Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GaussianNB). Results GaussianNB performs well in classifying OCD with 91% accuracy, 76% precision, and 96% specificity as well as in detecting SAD with 79% accuracy, 62% precision, 91% specificity. RF outperformed all other methods in identifying ADHD with 91% accuracy, 94% precision, and 99% specificity. Conclusion Using Streamlit and Python a web application was developed based on the findings of the analysis. The application will assist parents/guardians and school officials in detecting mental illnesses early in their children and adolescents using signs and symptoms to start the treatment at the earliest convenience.

Abstract
Integrating Internet technologies with traditional healthcare systems has enabled the emergence of cloud healthcare systems. These systems aim to optimize the balance between online diagnosis and offline treatment to effectively reduce patients' waiting times and improve the utilization of idle medical resources. In this paper, a distributed genetic algorithm (DGA) is proposed as a means to optimize the balance of patient assignment (PA) in cloud healthcare systems. The proposed DGA utilizes individuals as solutions for the PA optimization problem and generates better solutions through the execution of crossover, mutation, and selection operators. Besides, the distributed framework in the DGA is proposed to improve its population diversity and scalability. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DGA in optimizing the PA problem within the cloud healthcare systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND OBJECTIVE Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a safe and non-invasive treatment that has recently emerged as an effective technique to apply near-infrared or red light to activate neural tissues. The objective is to review the literature on the effect of tPBM on electrophysiological activity in healthy individuals. METHODS Literature was searched through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, and Ovid for transcranial photobiomodulation therapy in healthy individuals age group 18-80 years of either gender having electroencephalography as an outcome. Critical appraisal of included Randomized Controlled Trials and non-randomized experimental studies was done using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. RESULTS A database search yielded a total of 4156 results. After eliminating 2626 duplicates, 1530 records were left. 32 articles were considered for full-text screening after 1498 records were excluded through title and abstract screening. 10 articles were included in this review. tPBM has been found to increase the higher electrophysiological oscillations and there is inconclusive evidence targeting the lower oscillatory electrophysiological frequencies. CONCLUSION Transcranial photobiomodulation can have promising effects on the electrophysiological activity of the brain in healthy individuals.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization forecast, over 55 million people worldwide have dementia, and about 10 million new cases are detected yearly. Early diagnosis is essential for patients to plan for the future and deal with the disease. Machine Learning algorithms allow us to solve the problems associated with early disease detection. This work attempts to identify the current relevance of the application of machine learning in dementia prediction in the scientific world and suggests open fields for future research. The literature review was conducted by combining bibliometric and content analysis of articles originating in a period of 20 years in the Scopus database. Twenty-seven thousand five hundred twenty papers were identified firstly, of which a limited number focused on machine learning in dementia diagnosis. After the exclusion process, 202 were selected, and 25 were chosen for analysis. The recent increasing interest in the past five years in the theme of machine learning in dementia shows that it is a relevant field for research with still open questions. The methods used to identify dementia or what features are used to identify or predict this disease are explored in this study. The literature review revealed that most studies used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its types as the main feature, accompanied by demographic data such as age, gender, and the mini-mental state examination score (MMSE). Data are usually acquired from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Classification of Alzheimer's disease is more prevalent than prediction of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or their combination. The authors preferred machine learning algorithms such as SVM, Ensemble methods, and CNN because of their excellent performance and results in previous studies. However, most use not one machine-learning technique but a combination of techniques. Despite achieving good results in the studies considered, there are new concepts for future investigation declared by the authors and suggestions for improvements by employing promising methods with potentially significant results.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) may detect early changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a debilitating progressive neurodegenerative disease. We have developed an automated AD detection model using a novel directed graph for local texture feature extraction with EEG signals. The proposed graph was created from a topological map of the macroscopic connectome, i.e., neuronal pathways linking anatomo-functional brain segments involved in visual object recognition and motor response in the primate brain. This primate brain pattern (PBP)-based model was tested on a public AD EEG signal dataset. The dataset comprised 16-channel EEG signal recordings of 12 AD patients and 11 healthy controls. While PBP could generate 448 low-level features per one-dimensional EEG signal, combining it with tunable q-factor wavelet transform created a multilevel feature extractor (which mimicked deep models) to generate 8,512 (= 448 × 19) features per signal input. Iterative neighborhood component analysis was used to choose the most discriminative features (the number of optimal features varied among the individual EEG channels) to feed to a weighted k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier for binary classification into AD vs. healthy using both leave-one subject-out (LOSO) and tenfold cross-validations. Iterative majority voting was used to compute subject-level general performance results from the individual channel classification outputs. Channel-wise, as well as subject-level general results demonstrated exemplary performance. In addition, the model attained 100% and 92.01% accuracy for AD vs. healthy classification using the KNN classifier with tenfold and LOSO cross-validations, respectively. Our developed multilevel PBP-based model extracted discriminative features from EEG signals and paved the way for further development of models inspired by the brain connectome.

Abstract
BackgroundElectroencephalogram (EEG), one of the most commonly used non-invasive neurophysiological examination techniques, advanced rapidly between 2005 and 2022, particularly when it was used for the diagnosis and prognosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study used a bibliometric approach to synthesize the knowledge structure and cutting-edge hotspots of EEG application in the MCI.MethodsRelated publications in the Web of Science Core Collection (WosCC) were retrieved from inception to 30 September 2022. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and HistCite software were employed to perform bibliographic and visualization analyses.ResultsBetween 2005 and 2022, 2,905 studies related to the application of EEG in MCI were investigated. The United States had the highest number of publications and was at the top of the list of international collaborations. In terms of total number of articles, IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana ranked first among institutions. The Clinical Neurophysiology published the greatest number of articles. The author with the highest citations was Babiloni C. In descending order of frequency, keywords with the highest frequency were “EEG,” “mild cognitive impairment,” and “Alzheimer’s disease”.ConclusionThe application of EEG in MCI was investigated using bibliographic analysis. The research emphasis has shifted from examining local brain lesions with EEG to neural network mechanisms. The paradigm of big data and intelligent analysis is becoming more relevant in EEG analytical methods. The use of EEG to link MCI to other related neurological disorders, and to evaluate new targets for diagnosis and treatment, has become a new research trend. The above-mentioned findings have implications in the future research on the application of EEG in MCI.

Abstract
Recent researchers have been drawn to the analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in order to confirm the disease and severity range by viewing the EEG signal which has complicated the dataset. The conventional models such as machine learning, classifiers, and other mathematical models achieved the lowest classification score. The current study proposes to implement a novel deep feature with the best solution for EEG signal analysis and severity specification. A greedy sandpiper-based recurrent neural system (SbRNS) model for predicting Alzheimer's disease (AD) severity has been proposed. The filtered data are used as input for the feature analysis and the severity range is divided into three classes: low, medium, and high. The designed approach was then implemented in the matrix laboratory (MATLAB) system, and the effectiveness score was calculated using key metrics such as precision, recall, specificity, accuracy, and misclassification score. The validation results show that the proposed scheme achieved the best classification outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pursuit of diagnostic tools capable of targeting distinct stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD), this study explores the potential of electroencephalography (EEG) combined with machine learning (ML) algorithms to identify patients with mild or moderate AD (ADM) and advanced AD (ADA). OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the classification accuracy of six classical ML algorithms using a dataset of 668 patients from multiple hospitals. METHODS The dataset comprised measurements obtained from 668 patients, distributed among control, ADM, and ADA groups, collected from five distinct hospitals between 2011 and 2022. For classification purposes, six classical ML algorithms were employed: support vector machine, Bayesian linear discriminant analysis, decision tree, Gaussian Naïve Bayes, K-nearest neighbor and random forest. RESULTS The RF algorithm exhibited outstanding performance, achieving a remarkable balanced accuracy of 93.55% for ADA classification and 93.25% for ADM classification. The consistent reliability in distinguishing ADA and ADM patients underscores the potential of the EEG-based approach for AD diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS By leveraging a dataset sourced from multiple hospitals and encompassing a substantial patient cohort, coupled with the straightforwardness of the implemented models, it is feasible to attain notably robust results in AD classification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Brain connectivity plays a pivotal role in understanding the brain's information processing functions by providing various details including magnitude, direction, and temporal dynamics of inter-neuron connections. While the connectivity may be classified as structural, functional and causal, a complete in-vivo directional analysis is guaranteed by the latter and is referred to as Effective Connectivity (EC). Two most widely used EC techniques are Directed Transfer Function (DTF) and Partial Directed Coherence (PDC) which are based on multivariate autoregressive models. The drawbacks of these techniques include poor frequency resolution and the requirement for experimental approach to determine signal normalization and thresholding techniques in identifying significant connectivities between multivariate sources. METHODS In this study, the drawbacks of DTF and PDC are addressed by proposing a novel technique, termed as Efficient Effective Connectivity (EEC), for the estimation of EC between multivariate sources using AR spectral estimation and Granger causality principle. In EEC, a linear predictive filter with AR coefficients obtained via multivariate EEG is used for signal prediction. This leads to the estimation of full-length signals which are then transformed into frequency domain by using Burg spectral estimation method. Furthermore, the newly proposed normalization method addressed the effect on each source in EEC using the sum of maximum connectivity values over the entire frequency range. Lastly, the proposed dynamic thresholding works by subtracting the first moment of causal effects of all the sources on one source from individual connections present for that source. RESULTS The proposed method is evaluated using synthetic and real resting-state EEG of 46 healthy controls. A 3D-Convolutional Neural Network is trained and tested using the PDC and EEC samples. The result indicates that compared to PDC, EEC improves the EEG eye-state classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity by 5.57%, 3.15% and 8.74%, respectively. CONCLUSION Correct identification of all connections in synthetic data and improved resting-state classification performance using EEC proved that EEC gives better estimation of directed causality and indicates that it can be used for reliable understanding of brain mechanisms. Conclusively, the proposed technique may open up new research dimensions for clinical diagnosis of mental disorders.

Abstract
The diagnosis of neurological diseases is one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine, which is a major issue at the moment. Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings is usually used to identify various neurological diseases. EEG produces a large volume of multi-channel time-series data that neurologists visually analyze to identify and understand abnormalities within the brain and how they propagate. This is a time-consuming, error-prone, subjective, and exhausting process. Moreover, recent advances in EEG classification have mostly focused on classifying patients of a specific disease from healthy subjects using EEG data, which is not cost effective as it requires multiple systems for checking a subject's EEG data for different neurological disorders. This forces researchers to advance their work and create a single, unified classification framework for identifying various neurological diseases from EEG signal data. Hence, this study aims to meet this requirement by developing a machine learning (ML) based data mining technique for categorizing multiple abnormalities from EEG data. Textural feature extractors and ML-based classifiers are used on time-frequency spectrogram images to develop the classification system. Initially, noises and artifacts are removed from the signal using filtering techniques and then normalized to reduce computational complexity. Afterwards, normalized signals are segmented into small time segments and spectrogram images are generated from those segments using short-time Fourier transform. Then two histogram based textural feature extractors are used to calculate features separately and principal component analysis is used to select significant features from the extracted features. Finally, four different ML based classifiers are used to categorize those selected features into different disease classes. The developed method is tested on four real-time EEG datasets. The obtained result has shown potential in classifying various abnormality types, indicating that it can be utilized to identify various neurological abnormalities from brain signal data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In view of the depression characteristics such as high prevalence, high disability rate, high fatality rate, and high recurrence rate, early identification and early intervention are the most effective methods to prevent irreversible damage of brain function over time. The traditional method of depression recognition based on questionnaires and interviews is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and heavily depends on the doctor's subjective experience. Therefore, accurate, convenient and effective recognition of depression has important social value and scientific significance. METHODS This paper proposes a depression recognition framework based on feature-level fusion of spatial-temporal pervasive electroencephalography (EEG). Time series EEG data were collected by portable three-electrode EEG acquisition instrument, and mapped to a spatial complex network called visibility graph (VG). Then temporal EEG features and spatial VG metric features were extracted and selected. Based on the correlation between features and categories, the differences in contribution of individual feature are explored, and different contribution coefficients are assigned to different features as the data basis of feature-level fusion to ensure the diversity of data. A cascade forest model based on three different decision forests is designed to realize the efficient depression recognition using spatial-temporal feature-level fusion data. RESULTS Experimental data were obtained from 26 depressed patients and 29 healthy controls (HC). The results of multiple control experiments show that compared with single type feature, feature-level fusion without contribution coefficient, and independent classifiers, the feature-level method with contribution coefficient of spatial-temporal has a stronger recognition ability of depression, and the highest accuracy is 92.48%. CONCLUSION Feature-level fusion method provides an effective computer-aided tool for rapid clinical diagnosis of depression.

Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a severe and prolonged disorder of the human brain where people interpret reality in an abnormal way. Traditional methods of SZ detection are based on handcrafted feature extraction methods (manual process), which are tedious and unsophisticated, and also limited in their ability to balance efficiency and accuracy. To solve this issue, this study designed a deep learning-based feature extraction scheme involving the GoogLeNet model called "SchizoGoogLeNet" that can efficiently and automatically distinguish schizophrenic patients from healthy control (HC) subjects using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals with improved performance. The proposed framework involves multiple stages of EEG data processing. First, this study employs the average filtering method to remove noise and artifacts from the raw EEG signals to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. After that, a GoogLeNet model is designed to discover significant hidden features from denoised signals to identify schizophrenic patients from HC subjects. Finally, the obtained deep feature set is evaluated by the GoogleNet classifier and also some renowned machine learning classifiers to find a sustainable classification method for the obtained deep feature set. Experimental results show that the proposed deep feature extraction model with a support vector machine performs the best, producing a 99.02% correct classification rate for SZ, with an overall accuracy of 98.84%. Furthermore, our proposed model outperforms other existing methods. The proposed design is able to accurately discriminate SZ from HC, and it will be useful for developing a diagnostic tool for SZ detection.

Abstract
COVID-19 has emerged as a global pandemic affecting the world, and its adverse effects on society still continue. So far, about 243.57 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19, of which about 4.94 million have died. In this study, a new model, called COVIDetNet, is proposed for automated COVID-19 detection. A lightweight CNN architecture trained instead of the popular and pretrained convolution neural network (CNN) models such as VGG16, VGG19, AlexNet, ResNet50, ResNet100, and MobileNetV2 from scratch with chest x-ray (CXR) images was designed. A new feature set was created by concatenating the features of all layers of the designed CNN architecture. Then, the most efficient features chosen among the features concatenating with the Relief feature selection algorithm were classified using the support vector machine (SVM) method. The experimental works were carried out on a public COVID-19 CXR database. Experimental results demonstrated 99.24% accuracy, 99.60% specificity, 99.39% sensitivity, 99.04% precision, and an F1 score of 99.21%. Also, in comparison to AlexNet and VGG16 models, the deep feature extraction durations were reduced by approximately 6-fold and 38-fold, respectively. The COVIDetNet model provided a higher accuracy score than state-of-the-art models when compared to multi-class research studies. Overall, the proposed model will be beneficial for specialist medical staff to detect COVID-19 cases, as it provides faster and higher accuracy than existing CXR-based approaches.

Abstract
Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal aging and probable Alzheimer's disease. It is of great value to screen for MCI in the community. A novel machine learning (ML) model is composed of electroencephalography (EEG), eye tracking (ET), and neuropsychological assessments. This study has been proposed to identify MCI subjects from normal controls (NC). Methods: Two cohorts were used in this study. Cohort 1 as the training and validation group, includes184 MCI patients and 152 NC subjects. Cohort 2 as an independent test group, includes 44 MCI and 48 NC individuals. EEG, ET, Neuropsychological Tests Battery (NTB), and clinical variables with age, gender, educational level, MoCA-B, and ACE-R were selected for all subjects. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were adopted to evaluate the capabilities of this tool to classify MCI from NC. The clinical model, the EEG and ET model, and the neuropsychological model were compared. Results: We found that the classification accuracy of the proposed model achieved 84.5 ± 4.43% and 88.8 ± 3.59% in Cohort 1 and Cohort 2, respectively. The area under curve (AUC) of the proposed tool achieved 0.941 (0.893-0.982) in Cohort 1 and 0.966 (0.921-0.988) in Cohort 2, respectively. Conclusions: The proposed model incorporation of EEG, ET, and neuropsychological assessments yielded excellent classification performances, suggesting its potential for future application in cognitive decline prediction.

Abstract
Accurate and early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is necessary to prevent the progress of Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia. Unfortunately, the symptoms of MCI are complicated and may often be misinterpreted as those associated with the normal ageing process. To address this issue, many studies have proposed application of machine learning techniques for early MCI diagnosis based on electroencephalography (EEG). In this study, a machine learning framework for MCI diagnosis is proposed in this study, which extracts spectral, functional connectivity, and nonlinear features from EEG signals. The sequential backward feature selection (SBFS) algorithm is used to select the best subset of features. Several classification models and different combinations of feature sets are measured to identify the best ones for the proposed framework. A dataset of 16 and 18 EEG data of normal and MCI subjects is used to validate the proposed system. Metrics including accuracy (AC), sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), F1-score (F1), and false discovery rate (FDR) are evaluated using 10-fold crossvalidation. An average AC of 99.4%, SE of 98.8%, SP of 100%, F1 of 99.4%, and FDR of 0% have been provided by the best performance of the proposed framework using the linear support vector machine (LSVM) classifier and the combination of all feature sets. The acquired results confirm that the proposed framework provides an accurate and robust performance for recognizing MCI cases and outperforms previous approaches. Based on the obtained results, it is possible to be developed in order to use as a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool for clinical purposes.

Optimized Multiscale Entropy Model Based on Resting-State fMRI for Appraising Cognitive Performance in Healthy Elderly. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2484081. [PMID: 35712004 PMCID: PMC9197667 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2484081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Many studies have indicated that an entropy model can capture the dynamic characteristics of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) signals. However, there are problems of subjectivity and lack of uniform standards in the selection of model parameters relying on experience when using the entropy model to analyze rfMRI. To address this issue, an optimized multiscale entropy (MSE) model was proposed to confirm the parameters objectively. All healthy elderly volunteers were divided into two groups, namely, excellent and poor, by the scores estimated through traditional scale tests before the rfMRI scan. The parameters of the MSE model were optimized with the help of sensitivity parameters such as receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the ROC curve (AUC) in a comparison study between the two groups. The brain regions with significant differences in entropy values were considered biomarkers. Their entropy values were regarded as feature vectors to use as input for the probabilistic neural network in the classification of cognitive scores. Classification accuracy of 80.05% was obtained using machine learning. These results show that the optimized MSE model can accurately select the brain regions sensitive to cognitive performance and objectively select fixed parameters for MSE. This work was expected to provide the basis for entropy to test the cognitive scores of the healthy elderly.

Abstract
PURPOSE To create a new artificial intelligence approach based on deep learning (DL) from multiparametric MRI in the differential diagnosis of common parotid tumors. METHODS Parotid tumors were classified using the InceptionResNetV2 DL model and majority voting approach with MRI images of 123 patients. The study was conducted in three stages. At stage I, the classification of the control, pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin tumor and malignant tumor (MT) groups was examined, and two approaches in which MRI sequences were given in combined and non-combined forms were established. At stage II, the classification of the benign tumor, MT and control groups was made. At stage III, patients with a tumor in the parotid gland and those with a healthy parotid gland were classified. RESULTS A stage I, the accuracy value for classification in the non-combined and combined approaches was 86.43% and 92.86%, respectively. This value at stage II and stage III was found respectively as 92.14% and 99.29%. CONCLUSIONS The approach presented in this study classifies parotid tumors automatically and with high accuracy using DL models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Electroencephalography (EEG) is a potential source of downstream biomarkers for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its low-cost, non-invasive, and portable advantages. Accurately detecting AD-induced patterns from EEG signals is essential for understanding AD-related neurodegeneration at the EEG level and further evaluating the risk of AD at an early stage. This paper proposes a deep learning-based, functional explanatory framework that probes AD abnormalities from short-sequence EEG data. APPROACH The framework is a learning-based automatic detection system consisting of three encoding pathways that analyze EEG signals in frequency, complexity, and synchronous domains. We integrated the proposed EEG descriptors with the neural network components into one learning system to detect AD patterns. A transfer learning-based model was used to learn the deep representations, and a modified generative adversarial module was attached to the model to overcome feature sparsity. Furthermore, we utilized activation mapping to obtain the AD-related neurodegeneration at brain rhythm, dynamic complexity, and functional connectivity levels. MAIN RESULTS The proposed framework can accurately (100%) detect AD patterns based on our raw EEG recordings without delicate preprocessing. Meanwhile, the system indicates that 1) the power of different brain rhythms exhibits abnormal in the frontal lobes of AD patients, and such abnormality spreads to central lobes in the alpha and beta rhythms, 2) the difference in nonlinear complexity varies with the temporal scales, and 3) all the connections of pair-wise brain regions except bilateral temporal connectivity are weak in AD patterns. The proposed method outperforms other related methods in detection performance. SIGNIFICANCE We provide a new method for revealing abnormalities and corresponding localizations in different feature domains of EEG from AD patients. This study is a significant foundation for our future work on identifying individuals at high risk of AD at an early stage.

Abstract
Objective: This work was to explore the rhythm of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in patients with depression and anxiety and their effects on mental state. In this work, with depression complicated with anxiety patients as the A-MDD group (n = 21), and depression without anxiety symptoms as the NA-MDD group (n = 21). Firstly, data features were extracted according to the electroencephalo-graph (EEG) data of different patients, and a DR model was constructed for diagnosis. The Hamilton Depression Scale 24 (HAMD-24) was employed to evaluate the severity, and the ACTH and cortisol levels were detected and compared for patients in the A-MDD group and NA-MDD group. In addition, the psychological status of the patients was assessed using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS). As a result, the AI-based DR model showed a high recognition accuracy for depression. The HAMD-24 score in the A-MDD group (31.81 ± 5.39 points) was statistically higher than the score in the NA-MDD group (25.25 ± 5.02 points) (P < 0.05). No visible difference was found in ACTH levels of patients in different groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of cortisol rhythm disorder (CRD) in the A-MDD group was much higher (P < 0.05). The differences in TAS scores between the two groups were significantly statistically significant (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the AI-based DR Model achieves a more accurate identification of depression; depression with or without anxiety has different effects on the mental state of patients. CRD may be one of the biological markers of depression combined with anxiety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the outbreak started in 2019, COVID-19 pandemic has a significant global impact. Due to the highly infective nature of SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 close contacts are at significant risk of contracting COVID-19. China's experience in successfully controlling COVID-19 emphasized the importance of managing close contacts because this strategy helps to limit potential infection sources, prevent the unconscious spread of COVID-19 and thus control this pandemic. As a result, to understand and consider the management of close contacts may be beneficial to other countries. However, managing close contacts is challenging owing to the huge number of close contacts and a lack of appropriate management tools and literature references. METHODS A new system called the COVID-19 Close Contact Information Management System was developed. Here we introduced the design, use, improvement and achievements of this system. RESULTS This system was designed from the standpoint of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in charge of managing close contacts. Two main functions and eight modules/themes were ultimately formed after two development stages. The system introduces what information need to be collected in the close contact management. Since the system allows information flow across cities, the geographical distance and administrative regional boundaries are no longer obstacles for managing close contacts, which promotes the management of each close contact. Moreover, when this system is used in conjunction with other data tools, it provides data assistance for understanding the COVID-19 characteristics and formulating targeted COVID-19 control policies. To date, the system has been widely used in Guangdong Province for over 1 year and has recorded tens of thousands of pieces of data. There is sufficient practical experience to suggest that the system is capable of meeting the professional work requirements for close contact management. CONCLUSIONS This system provides a new way to manage close contacts and restrict the spread of COVID-19 by combining information technology with disease prevention and control strategies in the realm of public health. We hope that this system will serve as an example and guide for those anticipating similar work in other countries in response to current and future public health incidents.

Abstract
A widespread brain disorder of present days is depression which influences 264 million of the world's population. Depression may cause diverse undesirable consequences, including poor physical health, suicide, and self-harm if left untreated. Depression may have adverse effects on the personal, social, and professional lives of individuals. Both neurologists and researchers are trying to detect depression by challenging brain signals of Electroencephalogram (EEG) with chaotic and non-stationary characteristics. It is essential to detect early-stage depression to help patients obtain the best treatment promptly to prevent harmful consequences. In this paper, we proposed a new method based on centered correntropy (CC) and empirical wavelet transform (EWT) for the classification of normal and depressed EEG signals. The EEG signals are decomposed to rhythms by EWT and then CC of rhythms is computed as the discrimination feature and fed to K-nearest neighbor and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. The proposed method was evaluated using EEG signals recorded from 22 depression and 22 normal subjects. We achieved 98.76%, 98.47%, and 99.05% average classification accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, and specificity in a 10-fold cross-validation strategy by using an SVM classifier. Such efficient results conclude that the method proposed can be used as a fast and accurate computer-aided detection system for the diagnosis of patients with depression in clinics and hospitals.

Abstract
If the brain is regarded as a system, it will be one of the most complex systems in the universe. Traditional analysis and classification methods of major depressive disorder (MDD) based on electroencephalography (EEG) feature-levels often regard electrode as isolated node and ignore the correlation between them, so it's difficult to find alters of abnormal topological architecture in brain. To solve this problem, we propose a brain functional network framework for MDD of analysis and classification based on resting state EEG. The phase lag index (PLI) was calculated based on the 64-channel resting state EEG to construct the function connection matrix to reduce and avoid the volume conductor effect. Then binarization of brain function network based on small world index was realized. Statistical analyses were performed on different EEG frequency band and different brain regions. The results showed that significant alterations of brain synchronization occurred in frontal, temporal, parietal-occipital regions of left brain and temporal region of right brain. And average shortest path length and clustering coefficient in left central region of theta band and node betweenness centrality in right parietal-occipital region were significantly correlated with PHQ-9 score of MDD, which indicates these three network metrics may be served as potential biomarkers to effectively distinguish MDD from controls and the highest classification accuracy can reach 93.31%. Our findings also point out that the brain function network of MDD patients shows a random trend, and small world characteristics appears to weaken.

Abstract
Translational health technology and design schemes reflect certain themes in systems approach and its dynamics. This paper discusses these aligned ideas in view of their value to translational design processes. The ideas embedded in these two approaches are considered in the light of critical questions associated with the development of health informatics. Health care processes for patients might be very fragmented. Synergy thinking is required in all areas of design: it is crucial to understand the theoretical frames and issues associated with focus environments, administration, and cost policy. By internalizing common nuances in these approaches, designers can ease the interaction and communication between experts from different backgrounds. Synergistic thinking aids designers in health informatics to produce more sophisticated products. Maturing in recognizing the whole aids to take into account “the very essentials” more easily. These skills are very vital in prioritizing development substances in health informatics area.
