Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Improves the Performance of a Noninvasive Brain-Computer Interface

https://www.nccih.nih.gov/research/research-results/transcranial-focused-ultrasound-improves-the-performance-of-a-noninvasive-brain-computer-interface?nav=govd In a new study from Carnegie Mellon University, volunteers’ ability to type letters with their minds using a noninvasive brain-computer interface increased in response to ultrasound stimulation of a brain area associated with visual motion processing. This research, which was partly funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and is part of the National Institutes of Health Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative, was published in the journal Nature Communications.
