Core Tip	The application of conventional electroencephalography (EEG) in depression screening is limited by high equipment cost, operational complexity, and low clinical applicability. This minireview highlights the current research status of portable EEG in depression screening. Systematic analysis of 45 full-text studies shows portable EEG has significant potential in feature extraction (frequency domain, time domain, time-frequency analysis, nonlinear features, and functional connectivity) and prediction capability at the single-subject level when combined with machine learning. Future studies should focus on algorithm optimization, improving data quality, and promoting clinical implementation of portable EEG for depression screening.
