Description

Parisa Khaleghi and co-authors built a clear-box deep learning tool to detect depression from brain waves in 2025. Depression affects over 280 million people, and patients with brain disorders face extra risk from medicines. Standard diagnosis leans on subjective judgment, which varies between clinicians.

Their model trained on EEG records from 232 neurological patients and reached 98 percent accuracy. An explanation method, called SHAP, named the signals that drove each call. Ratios and band powers that clinicians know well ranked high. The tool fits standard EEG setups, which eases clinic uptake. The authors frame it as support for, not a swap for, clinical judgment.
