Trends and perspectives in the detection of depression by analysis of Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals: a Systematic Review of the Literature.

Keywords: Depression, EEG, Machine Learning, Deep Learning

Abstract

Currently, the diagnosis of depression is carried out through clinical interviews; taking into account the information provided by the patient, questionnaires or tests are used which help us have an approximation of the severity of the illness. To avoid human intervention in this type of diagnosis, one could resort to the analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals using different machine learning techniques. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to synthesize current trends in the detection of depression through EEG signals and machine learning models. A search was conducted in PubMed, IEEExplore, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink where 41 works were obtained in databases and 50 works were obtained through other sources, of which 20 articles published between 2020  and 2022 were selected, which present a comparison between different processing and classification methods. In the vast majority of the works, the accuracy rate is more than 80% in a binary classification (Depression/No Depression), as a result of the study of  different methodologies and machine learning models. This work aims to review the literature to offer a useful cross-section to  determine the most widely used classification methods.
