The Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (tFUS) System is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology designed to precisely modulate brain activity by delivering focused ultrasound waves to targeted neural regions. With millimeter-level accuracy, tFUS supports both research and therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders, enabling deep brain stimulation without the need for surgical procedures. This MRI-compatible system operates at frequencies ranging from 250 kHz to 1000 kHz and achieves focal depths of 60 to 125 mm.
