Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of healthcare informatics technology, specifically to a system for predicting adolescent depression. Background Technology
[0002] Early prediction and intervention for adolescent depression are crucial to preventing the condition from worsening. Existing methods for predicting depression primarily rely on clinical assessments, questionnaires, or behavioral data analysis based on machine learning. However, these methods are highly subjective, susceptible to individual report bias, and lack objective physiological indicators. Research has found a correlation between early adolescent depression and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Using EEG signals as the basis for predicting adolescent depression offers greater objectivity. However, EEG signals experience dispersion effects and phase distortion as they penetrate different tissue layers. Particularly in the prefrontal cortex, due to uneven skull thickness and cerebrospinal fluid flow, frequency-related phase delays occur during EEG signal transmission. These delays can lead to spurious estimates of inter-brain synchrony in functional connectivity analysis. This dispersion effect exhibits individualized spatial distribution patterns and is closely related to brain development. Adolescence is a critical stage for myelination of the brain's white matter, and changes in myelin thickness further alter signal transmission characteristics. Existing technologies treat EEG signals as propagating in a homogeneous medium, completely ignoring the systemic impact of this tissue-specific dispersion on functional connectivity networks. This leads to an inability to distinguish between depression-related network abnormalities and development-related transmission changes, resulting in biased predictions. Summary of the Invention
