New study out today in Nature Comms: www.nature.com/articles/s41..., in which we set out to test whether ultrasound could influence the reward-related learning computations of the nucleus accumbens, building on decades of work on dopaminergic prediction error and reinforcement learning. And it did.

A brain injury was reported in a trial using ultrasound, framed as low-intensity TUS. Kim Butts Pauly and I reviewed the case and disagreed with how it's presented. Key acoustic data are missing. Case: doi.org/10.1016/j.br... Letters: www.elsa-fouragnan.com/blog | web.stanford.edu/~kimbutts/Le...

So thrilled and humbled to be part of a £6.5M project funded by the @aria-research.bsky.social. Together with NHS Trust and Forest Neurotech, we’re trialing a whole-brain interface using ultrasound which could transform mental health! 🔊🧠 @bricplymouth.bsky.social @plymuni.bsky.social
