Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Neuropsychologists widely use the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (RCFT) as part of neuropsychological test batteries to evaluate cognitive function and assess constructional ability, with age being the most significant factor. Our study investigated a supervised machine learning (ML) algorithm to predict brain age gap using RCFT drawings from the healthy elderly community for early dementia detection.
