Grant awarded to Stanford University to research noninvasive neuromodulation of subcortical visual pathways using transcranial focused ultrasound, aiming to develop a precise brain-wide tool for visual system research and treatment of visual disorders.
Description
This project aims to validate transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) as a high-focality, deep brain neuromodulation technique using the visual system as a test-bed. Successful outcomes will provide a precise brain-wide tool for visual system research and potential therapeutics for visual disorders such as amblyopia, hallucinations, dyslexia, and agnosias.
