Fraunhofer researchers have developed a groundbreaking technology that uses ultrasound for targeted brain stimulation, employing a system with 256 controllable transducers to precisely focus sound signals on specific brain areas. This 3D sound technology, which is non-invasive and safe, holds promise for treating neurological conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke aftereffects. The transducers, arranged in a checkerboard pattern, can stimulate deep brain areas without damaging tissue. The approach is seen as a potential alternative to risky neurosurgery and conventional medications, offering new possibilities for alleviating symptoms of neurological disorders.
