Strategic Objectives
• Master the physics of the acoustoelectric effect in neural tissue.
• Achieve high-resolution mapping at depths previously unreachable.
• Integrate sonography and electrophysiology into a single modality.
• Explore the future of non-invasive brain-machine interfaces.
The Core Challenge
Traditional neural imaging forces a trade-off between the deep reach of ultrasound and the electrical specificity of EEG.
