The human electroencephalogram (EEG) of sleep undergoes profound changes with age. These changes can be conceptualized as "brain age", which can be compared to an age norm to reflect the deviation from normal aging process. Here, we develop…

Changes over time in brain anatomy can provide important insight for treatment design or scientific analyses. We present a method that predicts how a brain MRI for an individual will change over time. We model changes using a diffeomorphic…
