Rethinking EEG Biomarkers for Brain Disorders: A Transdiagnostic, Dimensional Perspective

This work calls for a re-evaluation of electroencephalogram (EEG) biomarkers used in diagnosing brain disorders. It advocates for a transdiagnostic and dimensional approach, moving beyond traditional categorical classifications. The authors suggest that focusing on underlying dimensions of brain function, rather than specific disorder labels, may lead to more accurate and comprehensive biomarkers. This perspective aims to improve the understanding and treatment of a wide range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. The proposed shift in methodology could enhance diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. The article encourages a broader view of brain disorder characterization.

This perspective piece advocates for a new approach to understanding brain disorders, potentially leading to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments through refined EEG biomarkers.
