Biol Psychiatry Cogn Neurosci Neuroimaging. 2026 Mar 16:S2451-9022(26)00078-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bpsc.2026.03.005. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The brain age biomarker estimates biological age from brain structure and is discussed as a potential screening tool for clinically relevant brain aging patterns in individuals. For brain age estimates to be of clinical utility, they must be meaningful for individual patients and free from systematic bias. Here, we investigate how biases from training data age-skewness, which we call distribution bias, impact the reliability and biological interpretability of this promising biomarker. METHODS: Using Monte Carlo simulations with data from 9,305 individuals and […]

Behind the Scenes: MRI Coil Replacement
We would like to share that a coil replacement on our MRI scanner has been completed as part of our ongoing efforts to maintain reliable imaging capabilities. In MRI systems, coils are essential components that help generate high-quality images by receiving radiofrequency signals during scans. Occasionally, coils are exchanged to ensure consistent system performance and imaging reliability. This replacement ensures that our MRI system continues to serve our research and collaborative work with the quality and dependability expected in advanced imaging. We sincerely thank everyone involved in planning and carrying out this process!
Out with the Old, In with the Sandwiches
A quick look at the pile of sorted-out furniture says it all: we recently gave our office a much-needed tidy-up. Once the hard work was done, we refueled with homemade sandwiches and enjoyed a relaxed break together – proof that productivity and good food go hand in hand.
From Delivery to Discovery
It’s been just over two years since our new MR scanner arrived. In that time, it’s helped us uncover countless insights – most intriguingly, the secret life of gradient coils.
Welcome to the new news
We noticed that news sections on many academic websites often become outdated. Our own site was no exception, so we decided to remove all old posts – making the three-year gap invisible. Now, we’re excited to start fresh with a completely renewed news section, bringing you up-to-date stories, updates, and highlights from our work.
