Transcranial Ultrasonic Stimulation (TUS) – sneak peek
General introduction to non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), and cover key concepts like circuits, plasticity, state-dependency and safety
In this course, we introduce transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS) to those who are new to the field of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS). We will explain what TUS can be used for, in the context of biomedical and research applications of ultrasound, illustrated using example studies. Additionally, we provide a brief history of the technique and a broad introduction to the biophysics of TUS.
