I am the director of a focused ultrasound laboratory. We are developing acoustic lenses with extensive applications in therapeutic ultrasound for brain neuromodulation, which is utilized to treat brain disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's. We also utilize focused ultrasound for tactile neurosensory engineering in mental health.
