How does our new technique of functional Ultrasound (fUS) compare to gold standard intra-operative neuro-imaging techniques such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) or Electrocortical Stimulation Mapping (ESM)?Find out in our latest paper published in NeuroImage, where we perform co-registered, multimodal functional experiments with the help of awake craniotomy patients: Paper link

Neurosurgical practice provides rare and direct access to the exposed human brain, which is otherwise safely hidden under the skull and dura. This exposure provides a unique opportunity for both neuroscientific as well as clinical goals, especially when harnessing techniques which have limited transcranial penetrability. How do we fully harness this potential? Which techniques are
