Deutschlandfunk Features Breakthroughs in Brain Stimulation for Treating Psychiatric Disorders including the research of Prof. Surjo Soekadar (in German).

 

From SPARK-BIH, we are happy to share this Deutschlandfunk podcast were Prof. Surjo Soekadar explains his research: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/mind-writer-1-brain-computer-interface-gegen-psychische-erkrankungen-hirnschrittmacher-100.html

This episode explores recent advancements in brain stimulation, highlighting the potential of novel non-invasive technologies to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions. It also details the pioneering treatment trial led by Prof. Soekadar for Klaus Porstmann, who is affected by tremors associated with Parkinson’s disease. The results were remarkable: the innovative device, developed with funding from SPARK-BIH/NeuroCure, successfully halted the tremor and produced a lasting therapeutic effect.

We look forward to following the team's next steps and hearing more about their future achievements!
