Spatially confined ultrasound neuromodulation via miniaturized fiber-optoacoustic converter (Conference Presentation)

Ultrasound has been recently explored as a new modality for neural modulation. However, one of the challenges in ultrasound neural modulation is that delivery of transcranial ultrasound would inevitably go through the skull, and eventually reach the cochlear through bone transduction. Moreover, the presence of skull will compromise ultrasound focus, resulting in poor spatial resolution. Here, we developed a miniaturized Fiber-Optoacoustic...
