Physiological safety considerations for TUS

This lecture delves deeper into the safety considerations for TUS. Data and experiences from the fields of deep brain stimulation and non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation are leveraged, in addition to animal and human TUS data. The goal of this lecture is to introduce students to a principled prospective assessment of risk and safety, given our knowledge of the physiological range of TUS effects.

At the end of this lecture, students will be able to assess the physiological risk and safety of a TUS experiment, given the current state of knowledge in the field.
