However, questions remain regarding the impact of VTC on the validity of neuropsychological testing. This systematic review aimed to (a) update the current knowledge of neuropsychological testing validity conducted via VTC in adults; (b) identify factors contributing to variability in results; and (c) recommend best practices for conducting these assessments. A total of 21 crossover studies were analyzed. The samples of these studies included healthy adults and individuals with cognitive impairments, with mean ages ranging from 23 to 81 years. Overall, the results point toward a strong agreement between VTC and in-person assessments. However, some variability was found across domains, with motor and timed tasks being particularly vulnerable to technical problems such as poor video/audio quality, unstable internet connections, limited familiarity with software and inadequacy of some devices. Additional challenges were identified when providing these services to individuals with cognitive impairments, specifically in tasks requiring clear verbal instructions or precise visual details. Further research is essential to establish standardized VTC protocols and administration guidelines, particularly for clinical populations, to mitigate variability and enhance the validity of VTC-based neuropsychological assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143082007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the application of AI techniques in medicine, such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), is rapidly growing and offers great potential for aiding physicians in the early diagnosis of illnesses. Depression, one of the most prevalent and debilitating mental illnesses, is projected to become the leading cause of disability worldwide by 2040. For early diagnosis, a patient-friendly, cost-effective approach based on readily observable and objective indicators is essential. The objective of this research is to develop machine learning and deep learning techniques that utilize electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to diagnose depression. Different statistical features were extracted from the EEG signals and fed into the models. Three classifiers were constructed: 1D Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR). The methods were tested on a dataset comprising EEG signals from 34 patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and 30 healthy subjects. The signals were collected under three distinct conditions: TASK, when the subject was performing a task; Eye Close (EC), when the subject's eyes were closed; and Eye Open (EO), when the subject's eyes were open. All three classifiers were applied to each of the three types of signals, resulting in nine (3 × 3) experiments. The results showed that TASK signals yielded the highest accuracies of 88.4%, 89.3%, and 90.21% for LR, SVM, and 1DCNN, respectively, compared to EC and EO signals. Additionally, the proposed methods outperformed some state-of-the-art approaches. These findings highlight the potential of EEG-based approaches for the clinical diagnosis of depression and provide promising avenues for further research. Additionally, the proposed methodology demonstrated statistically significant improvements in classification accuracy, with p-values < 0.05, ensuring robustness and reliability.</p>","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
