Abstract: D. Ko, J. Yang (2022)

Schizophrenia, a mental disorder experienced by more than 20 million people worldwide, is emerging as a serious issue in society. Currently, the diagnosis of schizophrenia is based only on mental disorder diagnosis and/or diagnosis by a psychiatrist or mental health professional using DSM-5, a diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. Furthermore, patients in countries with insufficient access to healthcare are difficult to diagnose for schizophrenia and early diagnosis is even more problematic. While various studies are being conducted to solve the challenges of schizophrenia diagnosis, methodology is considered to be limited, and diagnostic accuracy needs to be improved. In this study, a new approach using EEG data and deep learning is proposed to increase objectivity and efficiency of schizophrenia diagnosis. Existing deep learning studies use EEG data to classify schizophrenic patients and healthy subjects by learning EEG in the form of graphs or tables. However, in this study, EEG, a time series data, was converted into an image to improve classification accuracy, and is then studied in deep learning models. This study used EEG data of 81 people, in which the difference in N100 EEG between schizophrenic patients and healthy patients had been analyzed in prior research. EEGs were converted into images using time series image conversion algorithms, Recurrence Plot (RP) and Gramian Angular Field (GAF), and converted EEG images were learned with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models built based on VGGNet. When the trained deep learning model was applied to the same data from prior research, it was demonstrated that classification accuracy improved when compared to previous studies. Among the two algorithms used for image conversion, the deep learning model that learned through GAF showed significantly higher classification accuracy. The results of this study suggest that the use of GAF and CNN models based on EEG results can be an effective way to increase objectivity and efficiency in diagnosing various mental disorders, including schizophrenia.
