Development of Visually Indistinguishable Acoustic Coupling Pads for Double-Blind Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation Studies

This paper develops and validates visually and mechanically indistinguishable acoustic coupling pads for double-blind tFUS studies, achieving precise control over ultrasound transmission and blocking.

Alterations in large-scale resting-state network nodes following transcranial focused ultrasound of deep brain structures

This study examines how transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) affects resting-state functional connectivity in large-scale neural networks in healthy adults.

Real Time and Delayed Effects of Subcortical Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound

This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to modulate deep brain structures and observes changes in BOLD signal and perfusion using functional MRI.
