Event Details
Tuesday 25 November (9:30am-4pm), Monash University (Clayton).
This workshop aims to provide an introduction to the use of Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS) for neuromodulation. The workshop will involve lectures combined with interactive sessions designed to give attendees a foundational understanding of the physical and biomechanical bases of ultrasound neuromodulation, the challenges of implementing the technique, and its potential and current application in cognitive and clinical neuroscience. It is assumed that attendees will have no prior experience with the technique and are curious to gain exposure for the first time. The workshop will provide an introduction to kWave simulations of the ultrasound acoustic field through the human skull, and a live demonstration of transducer coupling and neuronavigated targeting of a deep brain region. Attendees should leave with an enhanced understanding of the considerations required to design, perform, and analyse transcranial ultrasound stimulation studies in a safe and replicable way.
