Among QEEG measures, Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy (MFE) shows great potential in identifying AD-related changes in EEG complexity. However, MFE is intrinsically linked to signal amplitude, which can vary substantially among EEG systems, and this hinders the adoption of this metric for AD detection. To overcome this issue, this study investigates different preprocessing strategies to make the calculation of MFE less dependent on the specific amplitude characteristics of the EEG signals at hand. This contributes to generalizing and making more robust the adoption of MFE for AD detection. To demonstrate the robustness of the proposed preprocessing methods, binary classification tasks with Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers are used. Performance metrics, such as classification accuracy and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), are employed to assess the results. The methodology is validated on two public EEG datasets. Results show that amplitude transformation, particularly normalization, significantly enhances AD detection, achieving mean classification accuracy values exceeding 80% with an uncertainty of 10% across all classifiers. These results highlight the importance of preprocessing in improving the accuracy and the reliability of EEG-based AD diagnostic tools, offering potential advancements in patient management and treatment planning.</p>","PeriodicalId":48608,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors-Basel","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12190283/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we propose a symmetry-engineered, all-dielectric metasurface that leverages multipolar interference coupling to overcome this limitation. By introducing angular perturbation, the metasurface transforms the original magnetic dipole (MD)-dominated QBIC resonance into hybridized, multipolar modes. It arises from the interference coupling between MD, toroidal dipole (TD), and magnetic quadrupole (MQ). This mechanism induces dual counter-directional, frequency-shifted, resonance branches within angular variations below 16°, achieving simultaneous 0.42 THz broadband coverage and high Q of 499. Furthermore, a derived analytical model based on Maxwell equations and mode coupling theory rigorously validates the linear relationship between frequency splitting interval and incident angle with the Relative Root Mean Square Error (RRMSE) of 1.4% and the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.99.
