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.

arXiv:2608. 06122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by recent evidence that transformer architectures benefit from Self-PreTraining (SPT) on long-context benchmarks, we investigate whether similar gains extend to multimodal, multivariate, and even simple univariate medical time series.
