Surjo R. Soekadar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surjo Raphael Soekadar (born July 4, 1977 in Wiesbaden ) is a German doctor and university lecturer .

Life

Soekadar studied medicine in Mainz , Heidelberg and Baltimore and did her doctorate with Herta Flor , ZI Mannheim , on neuronal plasticity and phantom pain . From 2005 to 2018 he worked as a doctor at the University of Tübingen , where he headed the applied neurotechnology working group from 2011. In 2018 he was appointed Germany's first professor for clinical neurotechnology at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin . The professorship is supported by the Einstein Foundation Berlin .

Scientifically, he investigates the adaptation of the brain to changing environmental conditions ( neural plasticity ). Among other things, he deals with so-called brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and their clinical use in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases. As part of a research fellowship at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), he and his colleagues succeeded for the first time in 2011 in making neuromagnetic brain activity measurable in the millisecond range while electrical currents were flowing through the brain of a human test person. It is assumed that this new method will make a significant contribution to better understanding the clinical success of electrical brain stimulation and to clearing up numerous basic neuroscientific questions. For this he was u. a. awarded the 2014 Biomag Young Investigator Award.

Soekadar has been involved in development cooperation for many years, particularly in setting up youth health centers in Africa, South America and Asia. Since 2001 he has been a co-founder and co-founder of the Global Contract Foundation , Hamburg , and since 2004 a board member of the organization "Lebenschancen International" and the Weltvertrag Foundation. In 2004 he was appointed the youngest creative member of the Club of Budapest after drafting the first concept of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative the previous year and having played a key role in the Stuttgart Declaration of October 2003.

Awards

In 2012 he received the International Annual BCI Research Award together with Niels Birbaumer .
