Background and objective: Depression has become a major health burden worldwide, and effectively detection of such disorder is a great challenge which requires latest technological tool, such as Electroencephalography (EEG). This EEG-based research seeks to find prominent frequency band and brain regions that are most related to mild depression, as well as an optimal combination of classification algorithms and feature selection methods which can be used in future mild depression detection. Methods: An experiment based on facial expression viewing task (Emo block and Neu block) was conducted, and EEG data of 37 university students were collected using a 128 channel HydroCel Geodesic Sensor Net (HCGSN). For discriminating mild depressive patients and normal controls, BayesNet (BN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and RandomForest (RF) classifiers were used. And BestFirst (BF), GreedyStepwise (GSW), GeneticSearch (GS), LinearForwordSelection (LFS) and RankSearch (RS) based on Correlation Features Selection (CFS) were applied for linear and non-linear EEG features selection. Independent Samples T-test with Bonferroni correction was used to find the significantly discriminant electrodes and features. Results: Data mining results indicate that optimal performance is achieved using a combination of feature selection method GSW based on CFS and classifier KNN for beta frequency band. Accuracies achieved 92.00% and 98.00%, and AUC achieved 0.957 and 0.997, for Emo_block and Neu block beta band data respectively. T-test results validate the effectiveness of selected features by search method GSW. Simplified EEG system with only FP1, FP2, F3, O2, T3 electrodes was also explored with linear features, which yielded accuracies of 91.70% and 96.00%, AUC of 0.952 and 0.972, for Emo_block and Neu_block respectively. Conclusions: Classification results obtained by GSW + KNN are encouraging and better than previously published results. In the spatial distribution of features, we find that left parietotemporal lobe in beta EEG frequency band has greater effect on mild depression detection. And fewer EEG channels (FP1, FP2, F3, O2 and T3) combined with linear features may be good candidates for usage in portable systems for mild depression detection. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
