Background: Hair and scalp disorders present a significant challenge in dermatology due to their clinical diversity and overlapping symptoms, often leading to misdiagnoses. Traditional diagnostic methods rely heavily on clinical expertise and are limited by subjectivity and accessibility, necessitating more advanced and accessible diagnostic tools. Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning offer a promising solution for more accurate and efficient diagnosis. Methods: The research employs a modified Xception model incorporating ReLU activation, dense layers, global average pooling, regularization and dropout layers. This deep learning approach is evaluated against existing models like VGG19, Inception, ResNet, and DenseNet for its efficacy in accurately diagnosing various hair and scalp disorders. Results: The model achieved a 92% accuracy rate, significantly outperforming the comparative models, with accuracies ranging from 50% to 80%. Explainable AI techniques like Gradient‐weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad‐CAM) and Saliency Map provided deeper insights into the model's decision‐making process. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the potential of AI in dermatology, particularly in accurately diagnosing hair and scalp disorders. The superior accuracy and interpretability of the model represents a significant advancement in dermatological diagnostics, promising more reliable and accessible diagnostic methods.

The brain‐computer interface (BCI) enables individuals with impairments to interact with the real world without relying on the neuromuscular pathway. BCI leverages artificial intelligence (AI) models for control. It can capture brain activity patterns associated with mental processes and convert them into commands for actuators. One promising application of BCI is in rehabilitation centres. When compared to traditional methods integrated with machine learning (ML) approaches that were initially explored in the past decade, there is a relatively limited number of studies utilizing deep learning (DL) approaches in BCI applications. A novel approach has been developed for the automatic recognition of motor imagery (MI) tasks. This article introduces the improved sparrow search algorithm with deep transfer learning‐based EEG motor imagery classification (ISSADTL‐EEGMIC) algorithm for BCIs. The presented ISSADTL‐EEGMIC algorithm primarily focuses on the automated classification of motor imagery tasks. To achieve this, the ISSADTL‐EEGMIC method first preprocesses EEG signals using the wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) technique. Additionally, it employs the neural architecture search network (NASNet) technique for feature extraction. Moreover, the ISSADTL‐EEGMIC model performs the classification process using the stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) model. Furthermore, hyperparameter optimization of the SSAE model is performed using the ISSA technique, which helps achieve maximum classification performance. The results from the simulation of the ISSADTL‐EEGMIC algorithm have been examined using two benchmark datasets. The experimental findings suggest that it outperforms recent approaches in terms of performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
