Different pattern: a new EEG-based method for mental performance detection.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study focuses on detecting mental performance from EEG signals. It provides both classification and explanation results. For this purpose, we developed a new feature extraction method called Different Pattern (DiffPat) within an Explainable Feature Engineering (XFE) framework. NEW
methodThe proposed approach utilizes an EEG mental performance dataset. The DiffPat algorithm extracts the differences between EEG channels in order to improve the efficiency of the feature extraction process. To develop the identified features into a more accurate set of features, the iterative Neighborhood Component Analysis (INCA) feature selection method was utilized iteratively. After selecting the features with INCA, the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier was used to classify the features. AI-based explainable results utilizing XAI methods in conjunction with Directed Lobish (DLob) symbolic language were generated to produce cortical connectome diagrams and interpretive sentences that describe the relationship between the brain's neural networks.
resultsThe DiffPat-driven model achieved 84.48% accuracy with leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) cross-validation, which serves as the primary subject-independent performance estimate. A complementary subject-aware 10-fold cross-validation, where all segments of each subject were confined to a single fold, yielded 99.87% accuracy. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING
methodsThe DiffPat-based XFE model can explain the results and provides an advance in both feature engineering and neuroscience.
conclusionsBecause the model can both classify and explain the results, it has strong potential for mental performance analysis and other EEG applications.
