Summary:
- Researchers at MIT have developed a new non-invasive method to control brain activity using ultrasound waves, without the need for implants or genetic modifications.
- The technique, called Transcranial Focused Ultrasound (tFUS), can selectively stimulate or inhibit specific brain regions by precisely targeting them with focused ultrasound waves.
- This approach offers a promising alternative to existing brain stimulation techniques, as it is non-invasive, does not require surgery, and can be used to target deeper brain regions more effectively than other non-invasive methods.
