In a field moving this fast, it's important to remember that everything we take for granted was someone's lifetime of dedication. In our journey to collect their untold stories we catch up with one of the fields heroes, Jean-Francois Aubry, the Director of Research at the French National Center for Scientific Research, the Scientific Director of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation Center of Excellence at Physics for Medicine Paris, and co-founder of SonoMind. This episode is a wealth of historical context for acoustic array and lens design, through-skull transmit-receive, first steps in safely modulating the brain, scientific mentorship, and a forward looking sentiment for the mass treatment of depression. It is an absolute must listen for all those in the space.

Everyone in ultrasound neuromodulation has heard the story; a young man who came and went like the wind, leaving shock, awe, and promise of a great new technology. A resurgence born out of bumping speakers and majestic minis. 18 years later, the gang finds Jamie Tyler locked in a bank safe, surrounded by a glowing galaxy lighting the walls, eager to hear about where he's been and, more importantly, where he's headed next.

The skull cap gang has assembled for this riveting episode with Taylor Webb and Sam Clinard from the University of Utah. We talk about their development of a new MR hydrophone method, biomarkers for estimating dose, and the legacy of MR skull acoustic properties.

This week, the gang is joined by Dr. Amy Kruse, Chief Investment Officer of Satori Neuro, where she reveals her philosophy around neurotechnology investing and how aspiring scientists can best position themselves for the bright future ahead.

This week, the gang heads out west with Pengfei Song, Associate Professor at Duke University. They get into functional ultrasound brain imaging, the implications of vascular microbubbles, shear wave neuromodulation possibilities, and next generation brain computer interfaces.

Follow the FUS busters on their epic journey to untangle the origins of the double pulse repetition frequency. Be warned, you may not like what you find!

This week we join Dr. Samuel Pichardo to discuss pushing acoustic simulations to the limit with plans for BabelBrain 1.0, how essential tremor is n his crosshairs, and how electrical fields can steer the focus of a single element transducer.

Lived experience and mental health advocate Jon Nelson brings the reality of mental health front and center, from deep brain stimulation to an even deeper stigmatization.

Not the first, and definitely not the last time the gang discusses the growing prevalence of self experimentation as FUS gets wind in its sails. Listen in on thoughts around barrier to entry, a viral twitter post, chasing ghosts, and vagus nerve modulation.

This week Elly Martin, Associate Professor of University College London, joins the squad to talk about cryogenic ultrasonic unfreezing of living tissue, UCL's brain wide hemispheric interface, and the art of metrology.
