From the article: "my laboratory has engineered a novel technology which implements transcranial pulsed ultrasound to remotely and directly stimulate brain circuits without requiring surgery. Further, we have shown this ultrasonic neuromodulation approach confers a spatial resolution approximately five times greater than TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) and can exert its effects upon subcortical brain circuits deep within the brain"
