    the device directly targets the olfactory bulb in your brain with “focused ultrasound through the skull”

    Fascinating! I never would have expected this outcome.

      The implications make me so uncomfortable.

        Don’t worry about that. Now, how can we use smells to advertise Raid: Shadow Legends?

    Interesting use. I wonder how safe it is long term, but assume the ultrasonic energy is probably kept low enough that it (presumably) won’t lyse cells. I still wonder how it will affect proteins structures, etc or if it will lead to leaking through membranes of cellular structures.

    It reminds me of histotripsy, which was approved for cancer therapy a few years ago. Cool ideas and it seems like the uses of ultrasonication are finally making their way outside of laboratories.

    This is really interesting, apparently it’s therapeutic for sinus symptoms, too!
