  • Implemented an end-to-end unsupervised learning scheme for flexible optimization.
  • Integrated a coarse-to-fine multi-resolution framework to correct fine-scaled distortions.

Main Results:

  • The deep learning method significantly reduced distortions compared to FreeSurfer.
  • Processing time was reduced from 20 minutes to 5 seconds per surface.
  • Validated on over 800 cortical surfaces, demonstrating superior performance.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed deep learning algorithm offers a computationally efficient and accurate solution for cortical surface spherical mapping.
  • This method provides greater flexibility in minimizing various mesh distortions.
  • The approach has the potential to advance large-scale neuroimaging studies.
