Dr. Sheraz Khan is an Instructor (Research Faculty) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has developed novel signal processing methods for understanding neural underpinnings of autism. His publications, including Khan et al, BRAIN, 2015 and Khan et al, PNAS, 2013 shed new light on functional connectivity in autism. The neurophysiological metrics presented in these papers, can be used to blindly identify individuals with ASD with high accuracy and correlate with severity of autism.
Dr. Khan contributes to MEG/EEG processing packages (MNE/Brainstorm). These tools are routinely used in MEG/EEG research and have led to several high impact publications. Since 2010, Dr. Khan has been part of the teaching faculty for Annual Multi-modal Neuroimaging course organized by MGH/HST Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, in which participants from all over the world get trained in different neuroimaging modalities. He contributes to Harvard Medical School and MIT brain imaging courses and routinely mentors several scientist at undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral level in imaging data acquisition, analysis, interpretation and statistics.
