Biography

Walter Paulus, MD, is an esteemed Emeritus Professor of Clinical Neurophysiology at the University Medical Center Göttingen, Georg August University, where he served as Professor and Chair and Clinical Director of the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology since 1992. Additionally, he holds the position of Research Professor at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany. Dr. Paulus has been a pivotal figure in the field of neurophysiology, contributing significantly to the development of new stimulation techniques aimed at inducing neuroplasticity, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), alternating current stimulation (tACS), and random noise stimulation (tRNS).

Throughout his career, Dr. Paulus has focused on various clinical aspects within neurophysiology, with particular expertise in Parkinson’s disease, restless leg syndrome, epilepsy, and pain management. His research has not only advanced clinical treatments but has also expanded our understanding of neuroplastic mechanisms underlying these conditions.

In recognition of his outstanding contributions to clinical neurophysiology, Dr. Paulus was honored with the Hans Berger Preis by the German Society of Clinical Neurophysiology in 2016. From 2018 to 2022, he served as President of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN), where he played a crucial role in promoting international collaboration and advancements in neurophysiological research and practice.

Research Interest

Dr. Walter Paulus's research interests revolve around the application of novel stimulation techniques such as tDCS, tACS, and tRNS to induce neuroplastic changes in neurological disorders. He is particularly interested in exploring the therapeutic potential of these techniques in improving symptoms and quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and chronic pain conditions.
