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...
