A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

Understanding how the brain creates conscious experience remains one of science’s most difficult challenges. Brain scans and behavior studies have linked awareness to certain neural patterns, but ...

Dr. Zsolt Garami, medical director of the vascular ultrasound lab at Houston Methodist Hospital, puts it very straightforward: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is one of the least understood, rarely ...

The use of a robotic-assisted device to perform transcranial Doppler ultrasound greatly improved the detection of right-to-left cardiac shunts in patients with presumed embolic strokes compared with ...

Neuromodulation comprises a range of therapeutic approaches to relieving symptoms, such as pain or tremors, or to restore movement or function. Therapeutic stimulation of neurons with electrical ...

Consciousness is famously a “hard problem” of science: We don’t precisely know how the physical matter in our brains translates into thoughts, sensations, and feelings. But an emerging research tool ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull. That goal now feels closer. Researchers from University College London and ...

A new study has shown how the brain gives credit to events, along with how transcranial ultrasound (TUS) can disrupt this process. While currently developed in an animal model, this line of research ...
