How was BrainYears™ validated?

Modified on Thu, 22 Oct at 8:38 AM

BrainYears™ was developed in collaboration with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Our initial model was trained across the adult lifespan and tested on a held-out set of participants it never saw during training, reaching a Pearson correlation of 0.92 and a mean absolute error of 4.4 years: gold-standard MRI brain age accuracy, from a headset rather than a scanner. The full methodology, including the study cohorts, is in our pre-published paper on bioRxiv:



The model is currently being re-run on our substantially larger longitudinal dataset.
