Deep within the cerebellum, there are clusters of nerve cells responsible for communicating from the cerebellum to the rest of the central nervous system. By adjusting the activity in these nerve cells, we can fine-tune the brain's motor networks to address harmful changes associated with neurological disorders.

In this project, we employ a novel non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial-focused ultrasound stimulation to disrupt and enhance signalling in these nerve cells. We use imaging techniques such as electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging in conjunction with motor tasks to evaluate the immediate and long-term neural and behavioural effects.
