Machine learning-based classifying of risk-takers and risk-aversive individuals using resting-state EEG data: A pilot feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Decision-making is vital in interpersonal interactions and a country's economic and political conditions. People, especially managers, have to make decisions in different risky situations. There has been a growing interest in identifying managers' personality traits (i.e., risk-taking or risk-averse) in recent years. Although there are findings of signal decision-making and brain activity, the implementation of an intelligent brain-based technique to predict risk-averse and risk-taking managers is still in doubt.

Methods

This study proposes an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based intelligent system to distinguish risk-taking managers from risk-averse ones by recording the EEG signals from 30 managers. In particular, wavelet transform, a time-frequency domain analysis method, was used on resting-state EEG data to extract statistical features. Then, a two-step statistical wrapper algorithm was used to select the appropriate features. The support vector machine classifier, a supervised learning method, was used to classify two groups of managers using chosen features.

Results

Intersubject predictive performance could classify two groups of managers with 74.42% accuracy, 76.16% sensitivity, 72.32% specificity, and 75% F1-measure, indicating that machine learning (ML) models can distinguish between risk-taking and risk-averse managers using the features extracted from the alpha frequency band in 10 s analysis window size.

Conclusions

The findings of this study demonstrate the potential of using intelligent (ML-based) systems in distinguish between risk-taking and risk-averse managers using biological signals.

Project description:Highlights • We used EEG to analyze depression in Parkinson’s disease.• Depressed PD patients have different spectral EEG compared to non-depressed PD and depressed patients without PD.• Spectral EEG can contribute to the understanding of the neurophysiological basis depression in PD.• Machine learning algorithms can help distinguish depression in Parkinson's disease. Introduction Depression is a non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD-related depression is difficult to diagnose, and the neurophysiological basis is poorly understood. Depression can markedly affect cortical function, which suggests that scalp electroencephalography (EEG) may be able to distinguish depression in PD. We conducted a pilot study of depression and resting-state EEG in PD. Methods We recruited 18 PD patients without depression, 18 PD patients with depression, and 12 demographically similar non-PD patients with clinical depression. All patients were on their usual medications. We collected resting-state EEG in all patients and compared cortical brain signal features between patients with and without depression. We used a machine learning algorithm that harnesses the entire power spectrum (linear predictive coding of EEG Algorithm for PD: LEAPD) to distinguish between groups. Results We found differences between PD patients with and without depression in the alpha band (8–13 Hz) globally and in the beta (13–30 Hz) and gamma (30–50 Hz) bands in the central electrodes. From two minutes of resting-state EEG, we found that LEAPD-based machine learning could robustly distinguish between PD patients with and without depression with 97 % accuracy and between PD patients with depression and non-PD patients with depression with 100 % accuracy. We verified the robustness of our finding by confirming that the classification accuracy gracefully declines as data are randomly truncated. Conclusions Our results suggest that resting-state EEG power spectral analysis has the potential to distinguish depression in PD accurately. We demonstrated the efficacy of the LEAPD algorithm in identifying PD patients with depression from PD patients without depression and controls with depression. Our data provide insight into cortical mechanisms of depression and could lead to novel neurophysiological markers for non-motor symptoms of PD.

Project description:Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that impairs a person's mental, social, and emotional faculties gradually. Detection in the early stages with an accurate diagnosis is crucial to remedying the patients. This study proposed a new method to classify schizophrenia disease in the rest state based on neurologic signals achieved from the brain by electroencephalography (EEG). The datasets used consisted of 28 subjects, 14 for each group, which are schizophrenia and healthy control. The data was collected from the scalps with 19 EEG channels using a 250 Hz frequency. Due to the brain signal variation, we have decomposed the EEG signals into five sub-bands using a band-pass filter, ensuring the best signal clarity and eliminating artifacts. This work was performed with several scenarios: First, traditional techniques were applied. Secondly, augmented data (additive white Gaussian noise and stretched signals) were utilized. Additionally, we assessed Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR) as the features reduction method. All these data scenarios are applied with three different window sizes (epochs): 1, 2, and 5 s, utilizing six algorithms to extract features: Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Approximate Entropy (ApEn), Log Energy entropy (LogEn), Shannon Entropy (ShnEn), and kurtosis. The L2-normalization method was applied to the derived features, positively affecting the results. In terms of classification, we applied four algorithms: K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), and ensemble classifier (EC). From all the scenarios, our evaluation showed that SVM had remarkable results in all evaluation metrics with LogEn features utilizing a 1-s window size, impacting the diagnosis of Schizophrenia disease. This indicates that an accurate diagnosis of schizophrenia can be achieved through the right features and classification model selection. Finally, we contrasted our results to recently published works using the same and a different dataset, where our method showed a notable improvement.
