2012 Turing lecture
2012 is a very special year – marking 100 years since the birth of Alan Turing.
To celebrate this special year, IET worked with the BCS to deliver the IET/BCS Turing Lecture 2012.
The lecture speaker, Professor Ray Dolan, Director of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL at the IET/BCS Turing Lecture 2012 took to the stage to discuss the challenges Turing faced in relation to the Enigma, exploring Turing’s strongly Bayesian problem solving approaches and looking at the similarities with the problems the brain faces in making sense of its environment.
