Prof. J. Christopher Edgar has over 25 years of experience using non-invasive imaging (electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and structural and functional MRI) to study brain function and structure in neurotypical individuals as well as in psychiatric and neurological patient populations.

He is also interested in conducting the basic research needed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of neuroimaging techniques, as well as inform the development of more sophisticated analysis techniques. His most recent research focuses on studying brain structure and function maturation, with a current focus on children with autism spectrum disorder as well as infant and toddler brain development.
