  1. Chinese company #Gestala, founded and led by Phoenix Peng, aims to achieve whole-brain reading, writing, and modulation through phased-array #ultrasound gestala.com #tFUS #BCI #NeuroTech

  2. Ultrasound system for precise neuromodulation of human deep brain circuits nature.com/articles/s41467-025 phased-array #tFUS #TUS #FUS #BCI #NeuroTech

    "Experiments demonstrated selective modulation of the lateral geniculate nucleus (#LGN) and connected visual cortex regions. Participants showed significantly increased visual cortex activity during concurrent TUS and visual stimulation, with high cross-individual reproducibility."

  3. Transcranial focused ultrasound for identifying the neural substrate of conscious perception arxiv.org/abs/2507.08517 Indeed I see long-term potential for phased-array tFUS as a visual prosthesis for the late-blind. The company Nudge is developing a phased-array tFUS helmet. #tFUS

  4. Prediction: interest in electrode-based BCIs will wane (aside from niches), as non-implantable ("non-invasive") phased array focused ultrasound will take over for both brain stimulation and measuring brain activity cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896 (2020) #BCI #NeuroTech #FUS #tFUS #fUSI #neuroscience

  5. I have often been asked about mechanisms for focused ultrasound neuromodulation.

    Here is Figure 2 from this 2022 review paper by Dell'Italia, Sanguinetti, Monti, Bystritsky, and Reggente proposing mechanisms: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
