Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prediction of therapeutic outcome of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment is an important purpose that eliminates financial and psychological consequences of applying inefficient therapy. To achieve this goal we proposed a method based on machine learning to classify responders (R) and non- responders (NR) to rTMS treatment for major depression disorder (MDD) patients.
