Low-intensity ultrasound test during brain MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound changes brain activity signals measured on an MRI scan. It is done in healthy people to better understand how ultrasound may affect the brain without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy volunteer and can understand and speak English
- You are not claustrophobic (the MRI scanner may feel closed-in)
- You cannot have certain metal or implants that make MRI unsafe (like pacemakers or some clips)
- You are not pregnant (CT scans are not used during pregnancy)
- You do not have an active brain or nervous system condition or treatment that affects the brain
- You have no history of neurologic disorders or major head injury with long unconsciousness

This study tests how low-power focused ultrasound changes brain signals measured during MRI. You may help researchers understand how ultrasound can affect brain activity, even if you don’t have a known brain condition.
This trial uses low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) and brain scans to see how it affects thinking. It may help researchers find new ways to treat brain conditions.
This study uses a special kind of ultrasound and MRI scans to check safety and see how the brain responds. It may help researchers understand the possible mechanism of this treatment, but it is designed for people who are healthy and can complete the full visit schedule.
This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to see how it affects memory. It may help researchers understand how to improve memory or treat conditions that affect it.
This trial tests a low-intensity ultrasound approach while measuring how your nervous system and body respond automatically (like changes in heart rate or stress signals). It may help researchers learn how to stimulate or monitor these responses safely, using imaging and standard monitoring.
This study tests the safety of a brain stimulation approach that uses special brain recording and “focused ultrasound” targeted by brain signals. It is designed for healthy adults and checks whether the procedure is tolerated without serious side effects.
