This Phase I SBIR will further develop, validate, and initiate commercialization of the miniature ultrasound beamforming array (MUBA) system for transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS). The MUBA system will allow preclinical researchers to reversibly and non-invasively modulate neural activity in intact brain circuits with unparalleled precision.
Project Abstract/Summary The objective of this psychological technology SBIR/
Project summary This SBIR proposal aims to address current challenges in data-driven neuroscience by implementing DataJoint SciOps: a commercial service to help research labs implement computational workflows for data-intensive science experiments.
PROJECT SUMMARY This project seeks to develop a multi-probe ultrathin endomicroscope to enable high-resolution imaging and photo-stimulation at multiple sites within currently inaccessible regions of the brain. The instrument will be amenable to scientific studies in model animals and a stepping stone for future medical instrumentation targeted at diagnosis and disease treatment in humans. The company addresses the critical need in the scientific and medical fields for endoscopes that are minimally invasive, with a cross section in the order of 100μm.
