Nucleus-Specific Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation of the Thalamus: Testing Dissociable Effects on Perceptual Awareness and Motor Control

August 21, 2026 Daniel Torbett-Schofield, Davinia Fernández‐Espejo preprint

This project investigates whether transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) can produce target-specific modulation of distinct thalamic nuclei involved in perceptual awareness and motor control. TUS is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique capable of reaching deep brain structures with greater spatial precision than many conventional stimulation methods, making it a promising approach for...

Human consciousness is supported by dynamic complex patterns of brain signal coordination

Science Advances February 1, 2019 Athena Demertzi, Enzo Tagliazucchi, Stanislas Dehaene et al. 545 citations

Adopting the framework of brain dynamics as a cornerstone of human consciousness, we determined whether dynamic signal coordination provides specific and generalizable patterns pertaining to conscious and unconscious states after brain damage. A dynamic pattern of coordinated and anticoordinated functional magnetic resonance imaging signals characterized healthy individuals and minimally...
