Biomechanisms, effects and safety of transcranial ultrasound stimulation

Abstract

Part of Fundamentals and Applications of TUS, a two-day hands-on workshop run by the Brainbox Initiative for researchers starting out with transcranial ultrasound stimulation. This session covers how ultrasound interacts with neural tissue, what physiological and behavioural effects have been reported, and the safety limits and screening that follow from them.

The cerebellum holds most of the brain’s neurons, yet we still don’t know what it does for thought, language, or emotion. I build precise maps of it and use brain stimulation to find out.
