Peripheral focused ultrasound stimulation and its applications: From therapeutics to human–computer interaction [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Peripheral focused ultrasound stimulation (pFUS) has gained increasing attention in the past few decades, because it can be delivered to peripheral nerves, neural endings, or sub-organs. With different stimulation parameters, ultrasound stimulation could

Optically-generated focused ultrasound for noninvasive brain stimulation with ultrahigh precision
Light: Science & Applications, 2022 We report optically-generated focused ultrasound for non-invasive brain stimulation with ultrahigh precision of 83 µm, which is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of conventional transcranial focused ultrasound.

Focused ultrasound stimulation of an ex-vivo Aplysia abdominal ganglion preparation. [PDF]
J Neurosci Methods, 2022 A growing body of research demonstrates that focused ultrasound stimulates activity in human and other mammalian nervous systems. However, there is no consensus on which sonication parameters are optimal. Furthermore, the mechanism of action behind ultrasound neurostimulation remains poorly understood.

Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation of human primary visual cortex. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractTranscranial focused ultrasound (FUS) is making progress as a new non-invasive mode of regional brain stimulation. Current evidence of FUS-mediated neurostimulation for humans has been limited to the observation of subjective sensory manifestations and electrophysiological responses, thus warranting the identification of stimulated brain ...
