The brain's crystal ball may arise from a blend of cunning statistics and a technique that minimises surprises linked to the laws of thermodynamics - Professor Karl Friston awarded the 2013 Weldon Memorial Prize
- Professor Ray Dolan awarded the 2013 Klaus Joachim Zülch Prize
The K-J. Zülch Prize of the Gertrud Reemtsma Foundation has been awarded for outstanding achievements in basic neurological research every year since 1990. The prize is endowed with 50,000 Euro and has, until now, always been awarded and shared by two scientists. - Wellcome Trust & WTCN YouTube videos
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (incorporating the Leopold Muller Functional Imaging Laboratory and the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience) is an interdisciplinary centre for neuroimaging excellence.
We bring together clinicians and scientists who study higher cognitive function using neuroimaging techniques. Our goal is to understand how thought and behaviour arise from brain activity, and how such processes break down in neurological and psychiatric disease. Our research groups study all aspects of higher cognitive function including vision, hearing, memory, language, reasoning, emotion, decision making and social interactions.
Home to SPM, a standard tool for analysing neuroimaging data, the Centre seeks to answer fundamental questions about how the brain works in order to improve human and animal health. We host and train over 100 clinicians, scientists and support staff, and interact with over 200 collaborators both at UCL and throughout the world.
As well as conducting scientific research, we offer a wide range of educational and training opportunities to support the development of imaging neuroscience both nationally and internationally, and have an active public engagement agenda.
