New stimulation method builds on focused ultrasound research

A new study shows ultrasound can subtly prepare the brain to respond, rather than directly triggering activity. Combined with light electrical stimulation, it produces stronger, targeted effects for future therapies.

Transcranial focused ultrasound induces source localizable cortical activation in resting state humans when applied concurrently with transcranial electric stimulation - Nature Communications

The effects of transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) on the human brain are poorly understood. Here, the authors elucidate the subthreshold effects of tFUS and found that integrating tFUS with electric stimulation led to suprathreshold neuromodulation in the resting-state human brain.
