Transfer learning improves electroencephalography (EEG) analysis for major depressive disorder (MDD) diagnosis. This method enhances model accuracy and robustness, even when using data with different sampling rates.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Machine Learning
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Deep learning models require large datasets for robust performance.
- Electroencephalography (EEG) data is often limited in size, posing challenges for model development.
- Transfer learning is a promising technique to overcome data limitations in deep learning.
Conclusions:
- Early convolutional layers in deep learning models capture generalizable EEG representations.
- Transfer learning is a viable and effective strategy for enhancing deep learning models in EEG analysis, particularly for conditions like MDD.
- This study provides guidance for applying transfer learning to improve EEG-based diagnostic models, addressing challenges with small datasets and varying sampling rates.
