## Özet

**Neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI) data collected at NPİSTANBUL Hastanesi for 26 years has been analyzed in Üsküdar Üniversitesi's application and research centers to create the BraiNP/NP Model. The model, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, provides early diagnosis for various psychiatric illnesses.**

**Stating that BraiNP was developed under the consultancy of Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan and made available with a web interface at npmodel.com, Head of Software Engineering Department Prof. Dr. Türker Tekin Ergüzel said, 'In its current state, BraiNP provides high accuracy with predictive models for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), healthy control, unipolar - bipolar, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) response in depression.'**

## **Neuroimaging data collected since 1998 classified with artificial intelligence**

Prof. Dr. Türker Tekin Ergüzel provided information about the system called BraiNP or NP Model, stating the following:

“The NP Model is a highly predictive model developed by analyzing neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI) data collected at NPİSTANBUL Hastanesi since its establishment in 1998, with its international experience in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illnesses, at Üsküdar Üniversitesi's application and research centers. It utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms throughout all its processes, designed for the early diagnostic classification or treatment outcome prediction of various psychiatric illnesses.”

## **Goal: To integrate collected data into the healthcare system**

Prof. Dr. Ergüzel explained the model's objective as: “The aim is for this model not to be limited to scientific publications of prediction models previously conducted within NPİSTANBUL and Üsküdar Üniversitesi, but to reintegrate the collected data into the healthcare system, thereby enabling the effective use of resources by physicians, clients, and the healthcare system in the early diagnosis and treatment outcome prediction processes of diseases.”

## **“Underlying these developments is the increasing resolution of collected data”**

Ergüzel stated that in the last three years, significant progress has been made in the classification of diseases using biological markers by classical artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. He noted that these developments are based on the increasing resolution of collected data, the diversification of patient data sets, and especially the widespread use of deep learning algorithms.

Explaining that new generation learning algorithms can successfully extract distinguishing features present in raw data during classification processes, especially data with high temporal resolution such as EEG and data with high spatial resolution such as fMRI, after being obtained from patients or healthy control groups, are de-noised through preprocessing steps. Ergüzel further noted that subsequently, thanks to the developed algorithms, feature extraction is performed using these cleaned data by GPU-equipped computers on the Cloud.

## **International patent application filed**

Prof. Dr. Türker Tekin Ergüzel, stating that the NP Model was developed under the consultancy of Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan within the scope of a project supported by Üsküdar Üniversitesi's Scientific Research Projects and made available with a web interface at npmodel.com, continued as follows:

“In its current state, BraiNP provides high accuracy with predictive models for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), healthy control, unipolar - bipolar, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) response in depression. Furthermore, the system is designed to make more stable predictions with new data. The model, developed with early diagnostic capacity for classifying common psychiatric illnesses such as depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trichotillomania, and addiction, was designed in collaboration with neurologists and psychiatrists at NPİSTANBUL Hastanesi, neuroscientists, and software engineers at Üsküdar Üniversitesi. An international patent application has been filed for the model. While patent registration signifies the potential and unique, innovative capability of the application, it has also been made available for use by physicians at NPİSTANBUL Hastanesi.”

## **7 key contributions will be provided for patients, physicians, and the healthcare system**

Prof. Dr. Türker Tekin Ergüzel also stated that in this way, 7 key contributions would be provided for patients, physicians, and the healthcare system in the short and long term, listing them as follows: 

**“Early Intervention: **Early detection of mental health problems allows for rapid intervention and treatment, which can prevent the condition from worsening. Early intervention is generally associated with better treatment outcomes and a better prognosis.

**Prevention of Complications:** Detecting mental health disorders at an early stage helps prevent the development of complications such as comorbid conditions, substance abuse, or self-harming behaviors.

**Reduced Suffering:** Timely diagnosis ensures individuals receive appropriate support and treatment, reducing their suffering and improving their quality of life. It can alleviate symptoms and help individuals cope better with their conditions.

**Personalized Treatment Plans:** Early diagnosis provides a foundation for developing personalized treatment plans tailored to an individual's specific needs and circumstances. This approach increases the likelihood of treatment effectiveness and patient satisfaction.

**Resource Allocation:** Early diagnosis enables better allocation of resources within the healthcare system. It reduces the burden on emergency services and prevents unnecessary hospitalizations by ensuring patients receive appropriate levels of care.

**Education and Support:** Early knowledge of a diagnosis allows individuals and their families to access relevant education and support services. This helps them better understand the condition, learn coping strategies, and access community resources for ongoing support. 

**Improved Prognosis:** With early diagnosis and intervention, there is a higher chance of effectively managing symptoms and improving long-term prognosis. It can also minimize the risk of disease recurrence and facilitate recovery.”

## **“Brain-computer interfaces can be beneficial for post-stroke rehabilitation”**

Prof. Dr. Türker Tekin Ergüzel also stated that students in health informatics are provided with practical and clinical opportunities in areas such as brain stimulation, neuroimaging laboratories, and health physics, in addition to BCI (Brain-Computer Interfaces) and artificial intelligence studies, and continued:

“Brain-computer interfaces receive, analyze brain signals, and convert them into commands sent to output devices that perform desired actions. The primary function of BCI is to alter or restore useful functions for patients with disabilities due to neuromuscular disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury. 

Brain-computer interfaces can also be beneficial for post-stroke rehabilitation and other disorders. Our neuroscience research, which is at the forefront of these developments, offers researchers the opportunity to develop applications through our Neuroscience Master's and Ph.D. programs.”
