Sultan Tarlacı was born in Rize in 1970. He graduated at the top of his class from medical school in 1995, earning his M.D., and completed his residency in neurology at Ege University in 2000.

In 2000, he received the Brain Research Association Research Incentive Award; in 2001, the TÜBİTAK-Brain Research Association Research Incentive Award; and in 2003, the Sedat Simavi Health Sciences Award from the Turkish Journalists’ Association. In 2014, he was honored by the NeoCortex student society, which brings together health sciences students—including those from the Faculty of Medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine—under one umbrella and guides them toward scientific research.

He is the founder, namesake, and editor-in-chief of the International Journal of NeuroQuantology, which began publication in 2003 and focuses on neuroscience and quantum physics. The journal was accepted into international scientific databases (SCI, SCI-E) in January 2008. Now in its 15th year, the journal continues to be published regularly under his editorship. A book titled *NeuroQuantology* on the subject has been published abroad (Nova Publisher, 2014).

He has published over 40 research and review articles in the fields of neurology, neuroscience, and neurophilosophy that have been indexed in SCI. These articles have been cited nearly 1,000 times in international sources.

He frequently appears as a guest speaker on numerous TV programs to discuss neuroscience, the brain, cognitive science, borderline sciences, different states of consciousness, and behavioral sciences. 

He is the author of the neurology textbook *Emergency Neurological Diseases* (2004/2008). His novel *197 Days* was published in 2014. His popular science books include *ÖlümSözlük* (2016), *Why Did Schrödinger’s Cat Become Schizophrenic?* (2017), *From the Cave to Mars* (2017), and *Crime and the Brain* (December 2017).
