Daniel Wolpert FRS, FMedSci

Daniel Wolpert is Professor of Motor Neuroscience at UCL. He has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of the computations that underlie sensorimotor control processes and how failure in these processes can lead to disorders. He was the first to demonstrate that the human brain makes use of forward models, that is systems which predict the consequences of a motor command, and that such predictions could be used for a variety of computational task, from state estimation to sensory cancellation.
