A Generic Approach for Classification of Psychological Disorders Diagnosis using EEG

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely used technique to diagnose psychological disorders. Until now, most of the studies focused on the diagnosis of a particular psychological disorder using EEG. We propose a generic approach to diagnose the different type of psychological disorders with high accuracy. The proposed approach is tested on five different datasets and three psychological disorders. Electrodes having higher signal to noise ratio are selected from the raw EEG signals. Multiple linear and non-linear features are then extracted from the selected electrodes. After feature selection, machine learning is used to diagnose the psychological disorders. We kept the same generic approach for all the datasets and diseases and achieved 93%, 85% and 80% F1 score on Schizophrenia, Epilepsy and Parkinson disease, respectively.
