Richard McKinley has received a Novartis FreeNovation 2018 Prize for his project entitled "DeepSCAN-cortex: Measuring cortical thickness in the brain using super-resolution machine learning". The project examines the use of modern machine-learning techniques (deep learning super-resolution classfiers) to derive maps of the cortex from standard images with a resolution of 0.5mm cubed or higher, allowing more accurate measurements of the cortex.
