Scientists are proposing a new roadmap for using transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) to map the neural origins of consciousness. Unlike older stimulation methods, tFUS offers precise, millimetre-scale access to deep brain structures without surgery, promising a major leap forward in understanding how we perceive reality.
