However, considering the inherent complexity in decoding higher cognitive functions from spontaneous neuronal signals, these data-driven methods benefit from the incorporation of multimodal data. This work proposes an ensembled machine learning model with explainability (EXML) to detect subtle patterns in cortical and hippocampal local field potential signals (LFPs) that can be considered as a potential marker for AD in the early stage of the disease. The LFPs acquired from healthy and two types of AD animal models (n = 10 each) using linear multielectrode probes were endorsed by electrocardiogram and respiration signals for their veracity. Feature sets were generated from LFPs in temporal, spatial and spectral domains and were fed into selected machine-learning models for each domain. Using late fusion, the EXML model achieved an overall accuracy of 99.4%. This provided insights into the amyloid plaque deposition process as early as 3 months of the disease onset by identifying the subtle patterns in the network activities. Lastly, the individual and ensemble models were found to be robust when evaluated by randomly masking channels to mimic the presence of artefacts.  \nManuscript received 3 December 2022; revised 29 March 2023; accepted 26 April 2023 .

INTRODUCTION  \nALZHEIMER’S disease (AD) is a neuropathology, which  \naffects 46.8 million people worldwide [1] . While the disease is not fully understood, it is known that the lesions caused by amyloid plaques and tangles disrupt the connectivity of neurons, leading to their death and the atrophy of the brain. The main consequence is dementia, which impacts the person’s ability to think, behave, work and function independently.
