Research highlights
Methods grounded in published work.
White matter injury, brain aging, and cognitive decline beyond amyloid/tau
Why it matters: looks beyond a single biomarker to explain cognitive change.
Read the paper (external site)Predicting Brain Age Using Machine Learning Algorithms: A Comprehensive Evaluation
Why it matters: shows how much the evaluation design changes the result.
Read the paper (external site)Bias-adjustment in neuroimaging-based brain age frameworks: A robust scheme
Why it matters: a correction every brain-age study needs.

Before you write
Practical questions, clear answers.
Is my data safe?
We accept de-identified data only, under a written agreement, and never through this website. The data-handling page explains how data are sent, stored and deleted.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Confidentiality is agreed in writing before any confidential document or data are shared.
How do I pay?
The Research Diagnostic is paid at booking. Larger packages are paid 50% at the start and 50% on delivery, against an invoice in CAD.
How fast do you reply?
We aim to reply within 2 business days, with a suggested next step. Urgent deadlines can be discussed in the first message.
Do you work on devices?
Yes, on the statistics: study design, acceptance criteria, agreement and accuracy analysis. We do not design, build or certify devices.
