Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that causes great harm to patients, so timely and accurate detection is essential. This study aimed to identify a better feature to represent electroencephalography (EEG) signals and improve the classification accuracy of patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls by using EEG signals. Our research method involves two steps. First, the EEG time series is preprocessed, and the extracted time-domain and frequency-domain features are transformed into a sequence of red-green-blue (RGB) images that carry spatial information. Second, we construct hybrid deep neural networks (DNNs) that combine convolution neural networks and long short-term memory to address RGB images to classify schizophrenic patients and healthy controls. The results show that the fuzzy entropy (FuzzyEn) feature is more significant than the fast Fourier transform (FFT) feature in brain topography. The deep learning (DL) method that we propose achieves an average accuracy of 99.22% with FuzzyEn and an average accuracy of 96.34% with FFT. These results show that the best effect is to extract fuzzy features as input features from EEG time series and then use a hybrid DNN for classification. Compared with the most advanced methods in this field, significant improvements have been achieved.
