Researchers have developed a spectral audit framework to analyze deep learning models processing physiological time series like EEG and ECG data. This framework reveals that models often rely on an aperiodic signal component, which can be influenced by factors like age and pathology, rather than solely on domain-specific features. The study found this reliance to be task-dependent, impacting performance significantly in sleep-wake classification and clinical abnormality detection, and suggests that aperiodic controls should be standardized for more interpretable deep learning in this domain.
