This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is for a research project titled "High-Resolution Transcranial Ultrasound Neuromodulation at Large Scale." The $285,380 award, effective September 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026, supports scientific research to explore the use of orthogonal crossed beams of ultrasound as a noninvasive means for achieving unprecedented sub-0.1 mm3 spatial resolution neuromodulation at large scale. This research aims to significantly improve the spatial resolution and coverage of noninvasive neuromodulation of the brain, initially in animal studies, with the long-term goal of enabling new clinical applications in humans for treating neurological and psychiatric disorders and advancing brain-machine interfaces. The project also includes an integrated educational outreach component focused on a "machine-learning-inspired physical troubleshooting" framework to engage K-12 students, teachers, and undergraduate/graduate students.
