AI Methods Compared for Interpreting EEG Models in Depression Detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv explores various post-hoc explainable AI (XAI) methods to interpret black-box EEG models used for detecting Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Researchers applied techniques like DeepSHAP, Integrated Gradients, GradCAM, Occlusion, and Permutation Feature Importance to an InceptionTime architecture. The analysis revealed partially overlapping attribution patterns, with a recurring emphasis on specific EEG regions, particularly in the right hemisphere. While some methods showed agreement, others produced distinct results, highlighting how different XAI approaches can influence interpretations of EEG-based deep learning models for psychiatric applications.
