Bio-sketch
Karl
Friston is a neuroscientist and authority on brain imaging. He invented statistical parametric mapping:
SPM is an international standard for analysing imaging data and rests on the
general linear model and random field theory (developed with Keith
Worsley). In 1994, his group developed
voxel-based morphometry. VBM detects differences in neuroanatomy and is used
clinically and as a surrogate in genetic studies. These technical contributions were motivated
by schizophrenia research and theoretical studies of value-learning (with Gerry
Edelman). In 1995 this work was formulated as the disconnection hypothesis of
schizophrenia (with Chris Frith). In 2003, he invented dynamic causal modelling
(DCM), which is used to infer the architecture of distributed systems like the
brain. Mathematical contributions include variational (generalised) filtering
and dynamic expectation maximization (DEM) for Bayesian model inversion and
time-series analysis. Friston currently works on models of functional
integration in the human brain and the principles that underlie neuronal
interactions. His main contribution to theoretical neurobiology is a
free-energy principle for action and perception (active inference). Friston received the first Young
Investigators Award in Human Brain Mapping (1996) and was elected a Fellow of
the Academy of Medical Sciences (1999) in recognition of contributions to the
bio-medical sciences. In 2000 he was
President of the international Organization of Human Brain Mapping. In 2003 he was awarded the Minerva Golden
Brain Award and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2006. In 2008 he
received a Medal, Collθge de France and an Honorary Doctorate from the
University of York in 2011. He became of Fellow of the Society of Biology in
2012.
