Brain Asymmetry Suite: a framework for the comprehensive examination of the brain’s asymmetry

Motivation: Hemispheric asymmetries have shown a great potential for early detection of a variety of neurological disorders such as traumatic brain injury. However, the lack of consistency in study outcomes is a common issue, largely stemming from the restricted sample sizes and methodological variations. Goal(s): To develop a unified framework for the processing of multimodal imaging data for a comprehensive evaluation of brain asymmetry. Approach: Combination of state-of-the-art algorithms for multimodal imaging data to estimate different metrics of brain asymmetry. Results: By providing comprehensive measurements of brain asymmetry, this framework has the potential for early detection and monitoring of neurological disease. Impact: The study aims to address inconsistencies in hemispheric asymmetry research by developing a unified framework for the estimation of brain asymmetry and offers a promising avenue for early detection and monitoring of neurological diseases.
