Simultaneous fMRI and TUS-based Neurostimulation

Brain | MRI

We are seeking healthy adults to participate in a brain imaging (MRI) study. Your participation will contribute to research that aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a neurostimulation technique called Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS). The research study aims to help develop non-invasive treatments for various neurological and psychiatric disorders. The time commitment for this study requires five in-person visits of 2-3 hours each at the Seaman Family MR Research Centre at Foothills Hospital and one remote questionnaire.
