Professor Ray Dolan gives the prestigious Alan Turing Lecture

Professor Ray Dolan (Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience) last month gave the prestigious IET/BCS Alan Turing Lecture for 2012.

The lecture was entitled "From cryptanalysis to cognitive neuroscience - a hidden legacy of Alan Turing", a webcast of the lecture can be viewed here. 2012 marked 100 years since the birth of Alan Turing.

In another connection with Queen Square: in 1949 the neurophysiologist John A V Bates (Neurological Research Unit at the National Hospital Queen Square from 1946-1978), invited Turing to join an interdisciplinary dining club, known as the Ratio Club. The club was the most intellectually powerful and influential cybernetics grouping in the UK, and many of its members went on to become extremely prominent scientists.
