Gray's research spans neurodegenerative diseases (Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), gut-brain axis interactions in inflammatory bowel disease, and autonomic regulation of emotional states. He employs functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and physiological recording methods to explore these domains.

Key publication trends include longitudinal neuroimaging studies of Huntington's disease progression (IMAGE-HD), autonomic control mechanisms in psychiatric conditions, and neurophysiological effects of anti-inflammatory treatments. His work frequently appears in high-impact journals like PLoS ONE, Biological Psychiatry, and NeuroImage.

His collaborative projects often involve interdisciplinary teams from psychology, neurology, and behavioral medicine, with repeated collaborations with Hugo D. Critchley and colleagues from institutions including University of London and Stanford University. Gray has contributed to understanding emotional appraisal mechanisms, brain-gut interactions, and neurodegenerative disease progression through advanced imaging techniques.
