Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, it is predicted that in 2020, depression will become the second largest illness threatening the health of mankind. In order to alleviate the worldwide damage caused by depression, a portable and accurate diagnosing technique is the most essential. This research uses three-electrode pervasive EEG collector to collect EEG data from Fp1, Fp2, and Fpz as locations of scalp electrodes, since these locations are closely related to emotions, and uncovered by hair. Special designed experiment has been conducted and totally 178 subjects' EEG data have been collected. Then the research uses KNN (k-Nearest Neighbor), SVM (Support Vector Machine), ANN (Artificial Neuro Network) and DBN (Deep Belief Network) to analyze the data. The results show DBN performed better than traditional methods using shallow algorithms. Moreover, the results suggested the absolute power of beta wave is a valid characteristic, which could be used for detection of depression. The accuracy reached 78.24% using the combination of DBN and the absolute power of beta wave. This research proves the feasibility of smaller-size pervasive system for depression diagnosis.
