    How do you propose to solve the “rigid skull” problem (footnote 2 in the post)? Most people like having theirs intact during diagnostic imaging.

    I await clinical use of this with bated breath…

      Merge labs (previously Forest Neurotech) is starting with people who have a certain surgery that needs excising a window in the skull -- and using that as an acoustic window. And in parallel hoping to figure out sufficiently good imaging across the skull for the general user.

      There was also an exciting fUS imaging demo from Aleph neuro a few months ago.
