The proposed framework uses MBER Optimization and refines classification boundaries through SVMs improve decision-making. Unlike conventional deep learning approaches that rely solely on CNN based end-to-end learning, our method uses SVM for classification that minimizes errors, enhancing model robustness and generalization. The experimental evaluation on EEG-based datasets assesses the effectiveness of the hybrid approach in terms of accuracy, computational efficiency, and scalability. The results provide insights into the potential of MBER-optimized SVM models for real-world applications in mental health diagnostics.
