Abstract

We have developed and validated a novel EEG-based signal processing approach to distinguish PD and control patients: Linear-predictive-coding EEG Algorithm for PD (LEAPD). This method efficiently encodes EEG time series into features that can detect PD in a computationally fast manner amenable to real time applications. We included a total of 41 PD patients and 41 demographically-matched controls from New Mexico and Iowa. Data for all participants from New Mexico (27 PD patients and 27 controls) were used to evaluate in-sample LEAPD performance, with extensive cross-validation. Participants from Iowa (14 PD patients and 14 controls) were used for out-of-sample tests. Our method utilized data from six EEG leads which were as little as 2 min long. For the in-sample dataset, LEAPD differentiated PD patients from controls with 85.3 ± 0.1% diagnostic accuracy, 93.3 ± 0.5% area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), 87.9 ± 0.9% sensitivity, and 82.7 ± 1.1% specificity, with multiple cross-validations. After head-to-head comparison with state-of-the-art methods using our dataset, LEAPD showed a 13% increase in accuracy and a 15.5% increase in AUC. When the trained classifier was applied to a distinct out-of-sample dataset, LEAPD showed reliable performance with 85.7% diagnostic accuracy, 85.2% AUC, 85.7% sensitivity, and 85.7% specificity. No statistically significant effect of levodopa-ON and levodopa-OFF sessions were found. We describe LEAPD, an efficient algorithm that is suitable for real time application and captures spectral EEG features using few parameters and reliably differentiates PD patients from demographically-matched controls. •A novel machine-learning approach to diagnose Parkinson's disease with EEG.•Cross-validation and out-of-sample tests yield more than 85% accuracy.•Outperforms other state-of-the-art EEG methods.•Computationally efficient and amenable to real-time implementation.
