Walter Paulus is Professor and Chair and Clinical Director of the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, University Medical Centre Gottingen, Germany since 1992. He is also a member of the supervisory board of the University Medical Centre. He started his career in neurology at the University Hospital for Neurology in Düsseldorf in 1978, spent 6 months at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London and worked at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich from 1984 to 1992. He mainly investigated motor cortex physiology by means of transcranial stimulation, further refined by co-application of CNS-active drugs in altogether some 632 publications with ~ 40.000 citations. He was involved in the development of new stimulation methods for induction of neuroplasticity such as tDCS, tACS and tRNS. His clinical focus encompasses Parkinson's disease, restless legs syndrome, epilepsy and pain. Two years ago, he was awarded with the Hans Berger Preis of the German Society of Clinical Neurophysiology. Since 2018, he is President of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
Speaker
Dr. Kimura received a Bachelor of Technology degree in 1957 and MD in 1961 both from Kyoto University in Japan.

He has served as Editor in Chief of Muscle & Nerve (1988-1997), President of American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM 1985-1986), International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN 1990-1993) and the World Federation of Neurology (WFN 2002-2005). His book "Electrodiagnosis in Diseases of Nerve and Muscle" has appeared in four editions.
Dr Margitta Seeck is a professor of Neurology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. She is director of the presurgical epilepsy program Geneva-Lausanne, which became a reference center for difficult-to-treat epilepsies in adults and children. She also heads the in- and outpatient unit of the EEG and Epilepsy Unit of the University Hospital of Geneva. She is past president of the Swiss Neurophysiological Society but she is still actively involved in teaching of EEG and epileptology.
She received her medical and doctoral degrees at the Ludwigs-Maximilians-University of Munich, where she also received her neurology training. After her medical studies, she did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Free University of Berlin and moved then to the United States where she was trained in EEG and epileptology at the Beth Israel Hospital, Harvard University. Her main interests are epilepsy surgery, EEG and EEG-based imaging in epilepsy, neurophysiology of intracranial EEG recordings. She is author of more than 170 papers on epilepsy in national and international journals, serves on several editorial boards of epilepsy journals, and is expert for the Swiss national science foundation and research agencies of other European and non-European countries. Furthermore, she is also actively involved in the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences and in the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
