How focused ultrasound affects thinking and brain activity
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 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.
Researchers are testing a new technology called transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) that uses sound waves to safely target brain areas. This study helps understand how tFUS affects the brain and may lead to new treatments for brain disorders.
This study looks at how long a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment effect lasts. It may help researchers plan safer, more effective use of this technology in future studies.
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 low-intensity focused ultrasound on the brain to see if it can help with mood and anxiety. It looks at different doses to find the most effective and safe level.
This study uses focused ultrasound (sound waves) to gently stimulate a small part of the brain while you look at visual patterns. It aims to learn how this affects perception, which may help develop new treatments for brain conditions.
