Abstract / Key pointsO_LIThe influence of FreeSurfer version-dependent variability in reconstructed cortical features on brain age predictions is average small when varying training and test splits from the same data. C_LIO_LIFreeSurfer version differences can lead to some variability in brain age dependent on the choice of algorithm and individual differences in brain morphometry, highlighting the advantage of repeated random train-test splitting. C_LIO_LIShuffling of differently processed FreeSurfer data dependent on the FreeSurfer version increases performance and generalizability of the brain age prediction model. C_LI

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
