The study introduces two fusion techniques—montage and blending—to combine EEG-derived time‑frequency images for predicting response to repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in depression. Using a lightweight custom CNN, the authors evaluated the methods on two datasets (15 and 46 patients) under both segment‑level and subject‑disjoint cross‑validation. While segment‑level validation yielded high accuracies (up to 99.90 % on the primary dataset), subject‑disjoint validation showed poor performance, with AUC values ranging from 0.31 to 0.54 and a best subject‑level result of 0.874 ± 0.183 AUC.

The paper presents a transformer-based framework for detecting schizophrenia from EEG signals. It converts preprocessed EEG recordings into spectrograms via Short-Time Fourier Transform and classifies them using both traditional machine learning algorithms and deep learning models, including CNN-Transformer hybrids. Subject-level data partitioning ensures reliable evaluation, yielding an AUC-ROC of 88.41% for the CNN-Transformer model and 92.88% for the CNN + Squeeze and Excitation + Transformer model on an independent test set.

Motor imagery (MI) brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) have emerged as a promising approach for establishing flexible communication pathways between the human brain and external devices , particularly for individuals affected by stroke or neurodegenerative disorders. Reliable decoding of motor-imagery electroencephalography (MI-EEG) remains challenging because EEG recordings contain substantial noise and exhibit complex, weakly informative relationships with the underlying brain activity.
The paper introduces the Frequency Selective Neural Network (FSNN), a new foundation architecture for time‑series learning that embeds advanced signal‑processing mathematics into its neural topology. By using a fully differentiable Wiener‑like filter bank optimized with complex‑domain backpropagation, FSNN autonomously discovers and isolates the precise physical modes of a given task, thereby avoiding the spectral entanglement that plagues CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers. Extensive evaluations show that FSNN achieves state‑of‑the‑art predictive performance, attaining 77.0 % average accuracy on the 10 multivariate UEA datasets and leading all major metrics on the imbalanced PTB‑XL ECG benchmark, while converging directly on physically meaningful frequency bands such as the cardiac QRS complex.
