Graphical overview of steps for computing the brain asymmetry with the BrainPrint. MRI scans are segmented with FreeSurfer and meshes for the lateralized structure of interest, here hippocampus, are created. The computation of the shapeDNA results in the spectral shape descriptor in BrainPrint. The Mahalanobis distance between shape vectors yields measure of shape asymmetry.
