Good to see so many Nottingham researchers at the @brainbox-init.bsky.social neuromodulation meeting! A great meeting with ideas that we can bring home to our N3 neurotechnology centre www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/centre-... #tus #tms #tacs

New: Zenbud ultrasound vagus nerve stimulation sham device cannot be distinguished from active device www.mdpi.com/2076-3425/15... We are now performing sham-controlled studies to observe cognitive and physiological effects... #ultrasound #vagusnerve #neuromodulation @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social

Interesting to see that the UK is number 2 worldwide (after the USA) in terms of consumer neurotech employment, number of companies, and funding deals... From Peter Schlecht's neurotech report at gppi.net/assets/Hensi...

Great to see that the next generation of NeurGear's Zenbud ultrasound vagus nerve stimulator is now on sale! First results show reductions in anxiety (neuro.jmir.org/2025/1/e69770 ). Find out more about the device here: zenbud.health/pages/anxiety

🚨 New Preprint 🚨 Targeting intracranial electrical stimulation (ES) to network regions defined within individuals causes network-level effects By Cyr et al. *** Q: Can we use individualized network maps from precision fMRI to modulate a targeted network via intracranial ES? A: Yes! 🧵:

Are you a registered healthcare professional searching for a PhD position? Using Zenbud #ultrasound #vagusnerve stimulation, the PhD position with me and Ben Marson is about 'Reducing pain reactivity for children in Emergency Departments' midlandsmhndtp.ac.uk/uon-students...

We attended the London Great Exhibition Road festival over the weekend and 250+ people tried our Zenbud vagus nerve stimulation device! One person suffering from anxiety/depression even came back on day 2 bringing a friend... www.zenbud.health #ultrasound #neuromodulation #vagusnerve #ExRdFest
