Opinion | The Science I Would Be Doing if I Weren’t in ICE Detention

"I did not complete a customs declaration for frog embryos (for use in our lab’s research) in my luggage. [...] This would normally result in a warning or a fine. Instead, [...] I was sent to a detention center in Louisiana, where I have spent the past three months."

Happy to say our ultrasound paper is now out in Brain Stimulation
doi.org/10.1016/j.br...

We used cultured neurons to dissect mechanisms of ultrasonic neurostimulation.
Most surprising: even an extremely short (4Β΅s) single low-intensity pulse can generate neuronal activity.

Brain computer interface (postdoc/engineer)

🧠 Postdoc Position !
Join us in Paris to work on brain-machine interfaces (BMI) using functional ultrasound (fUS)! We're seeking a postdoc to further develop and validate fUS-based BMI with Caltech and Iconeus.
