Proposed Analysis: The use of ADNI PET and MRI imaging data in prediction of AD diagnosis has been widely studied. We plan to investigate the associations of PET and MRI imaging with specific cognitive variables collected as part of ADNI to identify potential associations of imaging data with cognitive domains. We will start by using exploratory models to find associations of imaging based biomarkers provided by ADNI with cognitive scores. Then, we will develop deep convolutional neural networks to predict cognitive decline in the identified domains using the full 3D images or the 3D regions of interest that we select in the process of our exploratory analysis.
