Schizophrenia poses diagnostic challenges due to a lack of objective assessment. We propose MBSzEEGNet, a multi-branch deep-learning (DL) model for robust and interpretable EEG-based schizophrenia classification. Its specialized branches capture oscillatory and spatial-spectral features, enhancing g...
