Research
Eidelberg has studied functional imaging methods to characterize large-scale network abnormalities in brain disease. For example, Eidelberg and his colleagues have used this approach to measure rates of network progression in individuals with prodromal Parkinson's disease and to understand mvoement disorders like dystonia and Tourette syndrome.
