Deep learning model predicts rTMS depression therapy outcomes with 93.6% accuracy

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning model to predict the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) therapy for depression. By converting electroencephalography (EEG) signals into images using Fourier-Bessel Series Expansion with Euclidean Distance (FBSE-ED), the proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) achieved a 93.60% classification accuracy. This approach outperformed existing EEG-specific and pre-trained models, suggesting its potential for targeted clinical decision-making and real-world deployment in psychiatric clinics. AI

IMPACT Could enable more precise and timely treatment decisions for depression patients undergoing rTMS therapy.

    Predicting the Outcome of rTMS Depression Therapy using EEG Signals and CNN

    arXiv:2607.22776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non invasive therapy for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). In this study, we generate images using two time frequency methods to represent EEG signals: Fourier-Bessel Series Ex…
