Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Schizophrenia diagnosis presents significant clinical challenges.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a potential neurophysiological marker for psychiatric disorders.
  • Automated analysis of EEG data can aid in objective diagnostic tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate deep learning models for automated schizophrenia detection using EEG.
  • To compare the performance of LSTM and Transformer-based architectures for this task.
  • To identify key features from EEG signals discriminative of schizophrenia.

Main Methods:

  • EEG data from schizophrenia patients and healthy controls were preprocessed, including filtering and artifact removal.
  • Temporal and spectral features were extracted from EEG signals.
  • Feature selection methods (ANOVA, Mutual Information, Random Forest) identified discriminative features.
  • LSTM and Transformer deep learning models with attention mechanisms and temporal convolutional networks were developed and evaluated.

Main Results:

  • A Transformer-based deep learning model achieved 98.20% accuracy, 98.11% sensitivity, and 98.12% specificity in detecting schizophrenia.
  • An LSTM-based model showed strong performance with 95.65% accuracy.
  • The Transformer model demonstrated superior performance in cross-validation, highlighting its potential for robust schizophrenia detection.

Conclusions:

  • Transformer architectures show significant potential for the accurate and automated detection of schizophrenia via EEG analysis.
  • This approach could provide clinicians with an objective tool for earlier and more precise schizophrenia diagnosis.
  • Timely intervention based on objective diagnostic support may lead to improved treatment outcomes for schizophrenia patients.
