Adherence to the Mediterranean diet, inflammatory biomarkers and cognitive status in older Italian adults.

With the growing academic pressure and competitive educational environment, students often face mental stress, which can affect their academic performance and mental health. Its accurate and timely detection and prevention is important. Traditionally, mental stress has been reported by self-assessment, which is highly subjective and can be erroneous. With advances in neuroscience, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have been used to study brain states more objectively. EEG-based features, including time-domain, frequency-domain, and various types of connectivity features, have been used to effectively classify stress signals. However, these individual features are only able to present one aspect of the brain under stress. Several studies have combined a distinct set of features extracted from EEG signals, including time and frequency domain features, with other peripheral signals. Stress is a complex mechanism which leads to alternation in brain dynamics, its connectivity patterns and information flow. This study proposed a feature-fusion model that can effectively combine spatial features, i.e. Microstates (MS), connectivity features like Transfer Entropy (TE) and Granger Causality (GC), which provided a new neuromarker for stress classification. These features are combined with attention fusion, which enhances the discriminant features and mitigates the individual limitations within each modality. We also extracted microstates for stress-based signals. It provided a new set of microstate topomaps to study brain networks when under stress, which was not explored previously. The proposed Attention-fusion based multi-feature set is classified using Support Vector Machine, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and gave a reliable accuracy of 95.47%, 98.91%, and 83.49%, respectively. To validate the proposed method, the classification results were compared with individual and binary fusion of MS, TE and GC features, which further confirmed the robustness of the framework. This proposed feature fusion provides a more robust stress classification neuromarker, which can effectively cover the brain dynamics for accurate reporting of the underlying mental state.

Predicting depression intensity from microblogs and social media posts has numerous benefits and applications, including predicting early psychological disorders and stress in individuals or the general public. A major challenge in predicting depression using social media posts is that the existing studies do not focus on predicting the intensity of depression in social media texts but rather only perform the binary classification of depression and moreover noisy data makes it difficult to predict the true depression in the social media text. This study intends to begin by collecting relevant Tweets and generating a corpus of 210000 public tweets using Twitter public application programming interfaces (APIs). A strategy is devised to filter out only depression-related tweets by creating a list of relevant hashtags to reduce noise in the corpus. Furthermore, an algorithm is developed to annotate the data into three depression classes: ‘Mild,’ ‘Moderate,’ and ‘Severe,’ based on International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) depression diagnostic criteria. Different baseline classifiers are applied to the annotated dataset to get a preliminary idea of classification performance on the corpus. Further FastText-based model is applied and fine-tuned with different preprocessing techniques and hyperparameter tuning to produce the tuned model, which significantly increases the depression classification performance to an 84% F1 score and 90% accuracy compared to baselines. Finally, a FastText-based weighted soft voting ensemble (WSVE) is proposed to boost the model’s performance by combining several other classifiers and assigning weights to individual models according to their individual performances. The proposed WSVE outperformed all baselines as well as FastText alone, with an F1 of 89%, 5% higher than FastText alone, and an accuracy of 93%, 3% higher than FastText alone. The proposed model better captures the contextual features of the relatively small sample class and aids in the detection of early depression intensity prediction from tweets with impactful performances.
