🧠Excited to share our latest ultrasound & neurotech paper @natureportfolio.nature.com

🦾 Our previous papers demonstrated the HOW of an ultrasonic brain-machine interface in monkeys and humans. This paper highlights WHY it works.

La mort d’Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat, pionnière des études sur les ondes gravitationnelles
L’importance des travaux de la scientifique française, aux confins des mathématiques et de la physique théorique, lui avait valu d’être la première femme élue à l’Académie des sciences. Elle est morte le 11 février, à 101 ans.

Microbubbles in a regular #contrast agent allows for #ultrasound imaging of the finest details of #vascular structures. This is the working principle of ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM), a technique developed at 🇩🇪 @ruhr-uni-bochum.de.
Ultrasound reveals vascular details with microbubbles
A touch of the button is all it takes to improve the resolution of ultrasound images fivefold. This is down to bubbles floating in the bloodstream and a clever algorithm.
