Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Safety Check - high pressure application
Small cohort to be collected prior to other study cohorts. Highest of 3 pressures of interest will be applied to the S1 (somatosensory cortex) with a follow-up MRI conducted 24-72 hours post.
low-intensity focused ultrasound - high pressure
low-intensity focused ultrasound applied to the S1.
EEG
Electrical stimulation utilized to generate SEPs, performed pre and post LIFU application. One of three LIFU pressures will be applied. One per study visit (3), randomized order. EEG collected throughout visit (outcome measure).
low-intensity focused ultrasound - low pressure
low-intensity focused ultrasound applied to the S1.
low-intensity focused ultrasound - medium pressure
low-intensity focused ultrasound applied to the S1.
low-intensity focused ultrasound - high pressure
low-intensity focused ultrasound applied to the S1.
fMRI
Electrical stimulation utilized to generate SEPs, performed pre and post LIFU application. One of three LIFU pressures will be applied. One per study visit (3), randomized order. fMRI collected throughout visit (outcome measure).
