The purpose of the study is to test the effects of brief, low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (TUS) on electrophysiological, behavioral, and cognitive markers related to anxiety disorders.
We will test the effects of TUS on self-reported and clinical anxiety states in healthy participants and in those with diagnosed anxiety disorders. Participants in these studies will receive pulsed TUS to the brain regions of interest. We will test whether multiple doses of TUS lead to larger reductions in mental states related to anxiety in comparison to a single dose of TUS.
