A Systematic Review of Machine Learning Models in Mental Health Analysis Based on Multi-Channel Multi-Modal Biometric Signals

Abstract

With the increase in biosensors and data collection devices in the healthcare industry, artificial intelligence and machine learning have attracted much attention in recent years. In this study, we offered a comprehensive review of the current trends and the state-of-the-art in mental health analysis as well as the application of machine-learning techniques for analyzing multi-variate/multi-channel multi-modal biometric signals.This study reviewed the predominant mental-health-related biosensors, including polysomnography (PSG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electro-oculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG). We also described the processes used for data acquisition, data-cleaning, feature extraction, machine-learning modeling, and performance evaluation. This review showed that support-vector-machine and deep-learning techniques have been well studied, to date.After reviewing over 200 papers, we also discussed the current challenges and opportunities in this field.
