Study tests focused ultrasound effects on the healthy brain
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 55 years old
- Be in generally good health with no major physical or mental illness history
- Have no metal anywhere in your body (including implanted metal)
- Be able to consent and follow all ultrasound and MRI visit dates
- If you can become pregnant, have a negative urine pregnancy test before starting

This study tests whether a focused ultrasound technique can create a temporary blind spot in the vision. Researchers hope this will help them find the right ultrasound dose for each person, with the goal of treating certain brain conditions.
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.
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can help people with anxiety disorders better manage their symptoms. It involves brain stimulation and recording sessions to see how the treatment works.
This study uses focused ultrasound (sound waves) to gently stimulate the parts of the brain that process what you see and hear. It aims to understand how ultrasound can safely affect brain activity in healthy adults.
This study tests a new way to use gentle electrical stimulation on the brain (called tES) to see how it affects brain activity. It aims to help develop better treatments for brain conditions, but it is only for healthy young adults.
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.
