A practical guide to transcranial ultrasonic stimulation from the IFCN-endorsed ITRUSST consortium
International Clinical TMS Certification Course
The Academy of Brain Stimulation
Low-intensity transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique enabling cortical and deep brain targeting with unprecedented spatial accuracy.
Given the high rate of adoption by new users with varying levels of expertise and interdisciplinary backgrounds, practical guidelines are needed to ensure state-of-the-art TUS application and reproducible outcomes.
Therefore, the International Transcranial Ultrasonic Stimulation Safety and Standards (ITRUSST) consortium has formed a subcommittee, endorsed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN), to develop recommendations for best practice in TUS applications in humans.
The practical guide presented here provides a brief introduction into ultrasound physics and sonication parameters.
It explains the requirements of TUS lab equipment and transducer selection and discusses experimental design and procedures alongside potential confounds and control conditions.
Finally, the guide elaborates on essential steps of application planning for stimulation safety and efficacy, as well as considerations when combining TUS with neuroimaging, electrophysiology, or other brain stimulation techniques.
This practical guide to TUS will assist both novice and experienced users in planning and conducting high-quality studies and provide a solid foundation for further advancements in this promising field.

3 周Il est probable que vous ayez entendu parler de l'intention de Donald Trump de démanteler le ministère de l'éducation aux états-Unis. Cette proposition soulève de nombreuses interrogations, notamment quant à ses motivations réelles et à l'impact que cela pourrait avoir sur l'ensemble du système éducatif et de la diminution de l'instruction de la population. Dans les lignes qui suivent, je vous propose un tour d'horizon complet et approfondi de cette question, en mettant en évidence les répercussions potentielles sur l'avenir des élèves, des familles et de la société. https://lnkd.in/eC-hs5Yg
