Abstract
AbstractElectroencephalography (EEG) measures changes in neuronal activity and can reveal significant changes from infancy to adulthood concomitant with brain maturation, making it a potential physiological marker of brain maturation and cognition. To investigate a promising deep learning tool for EEG classification, we applied the bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) algorithm to analyze EEG data from the pediatric EEG laboratory of Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. The trained BLSTM model was 86% accurate when identifying EEGs from young children (8 months–6 years) and adolescents (12–20 years). However, there was only a modest classification accuracy (69.3%) when categorizing EEG samples into three age groups (8 months–6 years, 6–12 years, and 12–20 years). For EEG samples from patients with intellectual disability, the prediction accuracy of the trained BLSTM model was 46.4%, which was significantly lower than its accuracy for EEGs from neurotypical patients, indicating that the individual’s intelligence plays a major role in the age prediction. This study confirmed that scalp EEG can reflect brain maturation and the BLSTM algorithm is a feasible deep learning tool for the identification of cognitive age. The trained model can potentially be applied to clinical services as a supportive measurement of neurodevelopmental status.
