British neuroscientist
Karl John Friston FRS FMedSci FRSB (born 12 July 1959) is a British neuroscientist and theoretician at University College London . He is an authority on brain imaging and theoretical neuroscience , especially the use of physics-inspired statistical methods to model neuroimaging data and other random dynamical systems.[ 2] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
Friston is a key architect of the free energy principle and active inference . In imaging neuroscience he is best known for statistical parametric mapping and dynamic causal modelling . Friston also acts as a scientific advisor to numerous groups in industry.
Friston is one of the most highly cited living scientists[ 11] and in 2016 was ranked No. 1 by Semantic Scholar in the list of top 10 most influential neuroscientists.[ 12]
