Summary

This study is testing whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) can safely change brain activity in people with conditions like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, epilepsy, or substance abuse. Researchers will use brain recordings and movement tests to see if the ultrasound has any effect. The goal is to learn if this non-invasive technique could one day help treat these disorders.
