1.20 - Prof Karl Friston: Theories Of Consciousness And Hierarchical Deep Self-Models Of Brain And Mind Mind Medicine Australia

Professor Karl Friston is a British theoretical neuroscientist at University College London and an authority on brain imaging.
Karl has been awarded with countless different prizes and accomplishments, and is considered one of the most influential neuroscientists of the modern era. He invented statistical parametric mapping (SPM), voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and dynamic causal modelling (DCM). 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).
