Nice timing, tomorrow I'll be participating in a study doing transcranial ultrasonic neuro-modulation, meaning using ultrasound not just to map brain activity but to influence it (the point of the study is inhibiting the Default Mode Network).

If anyone's interested I found those two paper really interesting:

- Aubry et al 2023[1], on potential risks and limitions of using focused ultrasound in the brain (tldr we don't know but have conservative estimates. Really interesting for me to see that HN article adding to that)

- Lord et al 2024[2], a first study on using Transcranial Focused Ultrasound to modulate the DMN and subjective experience
