Using non-invasive ultrasonic neuromodulation to boost threat extinction. Finally able to causally unravel amygdala computations in healthy humans. I’ve been dreaming about these capabilities for years and it still feels magical. Pinch me, I can hardly believe how strong these effects are.

Effects of 5Hz-rTUS (tbTUS) on corticospinal excitability are less robust than we initially thought. Check out my new preprint with @drcarysevans.bsky.social and Po-Yu Fong showing that offline excitatory TUS-TMS effects don't replicate. Thread below 👇 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

We’re all familiar with the replicability problem. Our study shows offline effects of #TUS on M1 are unreliable. @ben-kop.bsky.social @lennartverhagen.bsky.social #UCL
