Ultrasound and temporary blind spot study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have normal or corrected vision and hearing (glasses/contacts are fine).
- You do not have any neurological or psychological illness, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
- You are not currently using any non-prescribed psychoactive medications or recreational drugs.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant soon, and you agree to use birth control if needed.

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 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 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 trial uses focused ultrasound to gently stimulate parts of the brain while you are under sedation. It aims to understand how this technology affects brain activity and could lead to new ways to treat brain disorders without surgery.
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.
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.
