 a PhD in the field of experimental quantum optics\, with focus on quantum 
 computing. Her rigorous training enabled her to invent the optical technol
 ogy of Neurescence that helps bridging this knowledge gap. Since 2015\, So
 udagar has raised investment from experts in both neuroscience/neurosurger
 y and optical fields and attracted a passionate team of individuals with d
 eep business and technical expertise in the field. Under her leadership an
 d in just 3 years\, Neurescence has launched Quartet&amp;reg\; &amp;ndash\; a comp
 lete hardware/software product &amp;ndash\; and will soon launch a second prod
 uct\, called the ChromatoneTM\, which enables unprecedented insight in con
 tribution of various types of neurons to local and long range neuronal cir
 cuitries\, in relation to behavior or disease. Soudagar&amp;rsquo\;s mission i
 s to optimize therapies for the brain and the spinal cord diseases and she
  aims to achieve this though Neurescence makes cutting edge technologies a
 vailable to scientists to push the boundaries of scientific understanding 
 of the central nervous system.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp\;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-s
