Abstract

The present study aims to build a classification model that discriminates between chronological ages of subjects based on resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) data collected from a community sample of 269 children aged 7 to 11. Specifically, spectral power densities in four classical frequency bands: Delta (0.5–3 Hz), Theta (4–7 Hz), Alpha (8–12 Hz) and Beta (14–25 Hz) were extracted for each electrode as features, and fed to three classification algorithms including logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso). In addition, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the dimensions of the feature space. The results demonstrated that SVM and Lasso evidenced better performance (maximal accuracy = 80.68 ± 2.01% by SVM and 77.82 ± 2.11% by Lasso) when applied to original feature space, but LR yielded the best performance with PCA (80.72 ± 1.73%). The accuracy of binary classification exhibited a decreasing trend with diminishing chronological gaps between the groups.
