Karl Friston
Professor of Imaging Neuroscience
Karl Friston is arguably the most cited neuroscientist alive. He invented Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) — the method that made fMRI data interpretable — and then developed the free energy principle, which proposes that every self-organising system (cells, brains, societies) behaves as if minimising surprise.
