image showing a figure that illustrates the brain age prediction framework, whereby a machine learning algorithm is trained with multiple brain MRI images and then tested with new brain data. The new brain data is without an age tag, meaning the machine learning algorithm has to estimate age based on its training. The resulting brain predicted age (here 11) is compared to the actual age in the last panel (here 9), and a difference between them is calculated, known as the brain age gap (here 2).
