Non-Invasive Selective Neural or Cellular Stimulation by Ultrasound
The existing technology e.g. deep brain stimulation, optogenetics is invasive, while the noninvasive technology “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation” lack spatial resolution and cell type selectivity.
This technology developed is a non-invasive method, which have significant impact both on fundamental brain function research and treating brain dysfunction.Using ultrasound in specific spatio-temporal regions, one is able to collect selectively manipulation of neuronal activity.
The success translation of this technology can result in significant impact on brain initiative projects and clinical needs.
