New framework uses EEG and fNIRS to detect depressive states

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for classifying depressive states using electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) biological signals. This pilot study, involving eleven healthy students, aims to create an objective, automated diagnostic tool to overcome the subjectivity of traditional psychiatric assessments. The technology is particularly crucial for identifying subtle depressive states and differentiating them from dementia in aging populations. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more objective and accessible mental health diagnostics, potentially improving early detection and treatment of depressive states.
