Professor Driver was formerly Director of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (ICN) and from 2009 Royal Society Anniversary Research Professor, jointly at the ICN and at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.

He was an outstanding scientist whose seminal contributions have had a huge international impact. He trained many of the world's leading cognitive neuroscientists and was an exceptional leader. He was a Fellow of both the Academy of Medical Sciences and the British Academy, and a member of Academia Europaea. Jon's many friends and colleagues are in shock at the news of his tragic and untimely death.

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº President & Provost Professor Malcolm Grant said, "Jon was truly outstanding, not only as a scientist but as a colleague. He gave selfless support and inspirational leadership to others. His vision and drive were central to the team that was successful in securing the Sainsbury-Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour. We have lost a superb colleague. Our thoughts are with Nilli and their family."

Professor Ray Dolan said: "Jon was a dear friend and an inspirational colleague. All of us who worked with him admired his selflessness, his superb intellect and his integrity. The neuroscience community has lost an irreplaceable figure."
