(she/her) UKRI FLF - Professor in Neuroscience. Started doing robotic/AI before it was cool, moved on to Neuroscience and now obsessed with Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation.https://bsky.app/profile/efouragnan.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/efouragnan.bsky.social/post/3m6ouzcjbts2yNew study out today in Nature Comms: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65080-9, in which we set out to test whether ultrasound could influence the reward-related learning computations of the nucleus accumbens, building on decades of work on dopaminergic prediction error and reinforcement learning. And it did.28 Nov 2025 12:26 +0000at://did:plc:2b62o762vl372zdh2evdnqsj/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6ouzcjbts2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/efouragnan.bsky.social/post/3m4pwpegxdk22A brain injury was reported in a trial using ultrasound, framed as low-intensity TUS. Kim Butts Pauly and I reviewed the case and disagreed with how it's presented. Key acoustic data are missing.

Together with NHS Trust and Forest Neurotech, we’re trialing a whole-brain interface using ultrasound which could transform mental health! 🔊🧠 @bricplymouth.bsky.social @plymuni.bsky.social [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 Jan 2025 11:04 +0000at://did:plc:2b62o762vl372zdh2evdnqsj/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg66x46sts2d
