Abstract: Information is communicated to an individual by directing an acoustic signal transcranially to a target region in the brain. The target region is stimulated to produce a cognitive effect, and the cognitive effect is modulated or encoded to carry the desired information.

Abstract: Presented herein is ultrasound visualization and associated systems and methods. In one embodiment, a method for an ultrasound imaging, includes: transmitting an imaging ultrasound toward a target tissue; receiving ultrasound echoes of the imaging ultrasound using a first set of receiving beamformer parameters; composing a first two-dimensional (2D) B-mode image of the target tissue based on received ultrasound echoes of the imaging ultrasound; transmitting a therapy ultrasound toward a target tissue by a therapy transducer using a second set of transmitting beamformer parameters; receiving ultrasound echoes of the therapy ultrasound using the first set of receiving beamformer parameters; composing a second 2D B-mode image of the target tissue based on received ultrasound echoes of the therapy ultrasound; and comparing the first 2D B-mode image of the target tissue with the second 2D B-mode image of the target tissue.

Abstract: Methods and systems for coupling ultrasound to the body, including to the head, are disclosed. The system is optionally configured to transmit ultrasound energy for transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation. Couplant assemblies are described that incorporate a semi-solid component that interfaces directly to the user's body and face of the ultrasound transducer. These couplant assemblies can be shaped, molded, or otherwise machined and, in some embodiments, contain one or more liquid, gel, or other non-solid component in an enclosed reservoir of the couplant assembly. Beneficial embodiments of ultrasound coupling assemblies described herein include those that conform to the contour of the user's body (e.g. the user's head for transcranial applications) and can easily be removed without leaving a messy residue. By having solid materials physically contacting the body, no residue is left that requires cleanup.

Abstract: Ultrasound phased array apparatuses (including systems and devices) and methods for making and using them. These apparatuses may be thin, and lightweight, so that they may be worn on a subject's head or other body region in acoustic communication so as to deliver ultrasound for stimulation of tissue, and particularly for neurostimulation. The ultrasound phased array apparatuses may be used as wearable and lightweight neurostimulation apparatuses.
