Abstract

Major depressive disorder: Brain signals as biomarkers for depression Tiago Costa from Delft University of Technology explores the potential of neuroimaging techniques, specifically non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG), in detecting biomarkers for depression. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and complex mental disorder posing significant challenges to both individuals and societies worldwide. An early and accurate diagnosis of depression is essential for effective treatment and management. In recent years, advancements in neuroimaging techniques have opened new avenues for identifying biomarkers that could aid in the diagnosis and understanding of depression. Among these techniques, non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) has gained attention in the last decade for its potential to detect depression biomarkers. While there is significant heterogeneity in terms of methodologies, sample sizes, and research objectives, several consistent patterns and findings emerge.
