Brain age prediction method and system based on sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) signals
By using a deep learning model based on sleep EEG signals and combining it with brain structure data, a non-invasive and low-cost method for predicting individual brain age and evaluating the treatment effect of sleep disorders has been achieved. This solves the problem that existing technologies cannot balance accessibility and accuracy, and is suitable for individual brain age prediction and sleep disorder monitoring in primary healthcare institutions.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot achieve non-invasive, low-cost, repeatable, and accurate prediction of individual brain age, nor can they effectively assess the synergistic changes in brain function and structure, especially in sleep disorders where dynamic monitoring and intervention effect evaluation are lacking.
Sleep EEG signals were collected using a polysomnography system. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory networks (Bi-LSTM) were combined to extract features through continuous wavelet transform (CWT), and a deep learning model was constructed. Combined with Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression, brain age prediction and correlation of brain structural aging characteristics were achieved, and the treatment effect of sleep disorders was dynamically monitored.
It achieves non-invasive, low-cost, and highly accurate individual brain age estimation, filling the technological gap in individual-level sleep EEG brain age prediction. It can dynamically monitor the effect of sleep disorders on brain age improvement and is suitable for primary healthcare institutions.
