Differential privacy applied to EEG data anonymization

Researchers have explored the integration of differential privacy techniques into the anonymization of electroencephalography (EEG) data features. The study specifically investigates the use of Gaussian and Laplace perturbations to protect sensitive patient information while attempting to maintain data utility for clinical research and AI-based decision-support systems. Findings indicate that while differentially private perturbation is feasible within EEG processing, the choice of mechanism, privacy parameters, and calibration methods significantly impact the preservation of downstream utility, particularly in small and imbalanced clinical datasets.
