This study investigates EEG-based biomarkers and machine learning for objective assessment of motor senescence interventions in elderly populations. We recorded resting-state and movement-related EEG signals from participants aged 40+ before and after therapy, extracting power spectral density (PSD) features to characterize age-related neural patterns. Six machine learning models (LR, DT, RF, kNN, SVM, XGB) were evaluated for age-group discrimination. XGB achieved peak performance (90.4% accuracy during rest; 90.2% during movement), with Random Forest closely following (88.1%; 86.7%). Spectral analysis revealed elevated \(\alpha \) / \(\beta \) -band PSD in elderly participants, suggesting compensatory neural mechanisms, while movement preparation showed consistent \(\alpha \) -band suppression across age groups. Classification metrics demonstrated superior recognition of young adults (precision: 92–93% vs. 87% for elderly), highlighting a systematic model bias. These findings validate EEG biomarkers as quantitative tools for assessing neuroplasticity-driven motor recovery, addressing critical gaps in geriatric care evaluation through computational neurophysiology.

摘要

This study investigates EEG-based biomarkers and machine learning for objective assessment of motor senescence interventions in elderly populations. We recorded resting-state and movement-related EEG signals from participants aged 40+ before and after therapy, extracting power spectral density (PSD) features to characterize age-related neural patterns. Six machine learning models (LR, DT, RF, kNN, SVM, XGB) were evaluated for age-group discrimination. XGB achieved peak performance (90.4% accuracy during rest; 90.2% during movement), with Random Forest closely following (88.1%; 86.7%). Spectral analysis revealed elevated \(\alpha \) / \(\beta \) -band PSD in elderly participants, suggesting compensatory neural mechanisms, while movement preparation showed consistent \(\alpha \) -band suppression across age groups. Classification metrics demonstrated superior recognition of young adults (precision: 92–93% vs. 87% for elderly), highlighting a systematic model bias. These findings validate EEG biomarkers as quantitative tools for assessing neuroplasticity-driven motor recovery, addressing critical gaps in geriatric care evaluation through computational neurophysiology.
