About This Podcast

Ultrasound deep brain stimulation has it all: sci-fi vibes, medical promise, even a hint of remote mind control, but it’s been missing one thing: two rad dudes with a podcast. FUS Forward is a neurotechnology show about non-invasive focused ultrasound brain stimulation, hosted by Charles Caskey, Professor of Vanderbilt University and Keith Murphy, Co-founder & CTO, Attune Neurosciences. Join us as we explore the challenges, conundrums, and wins in this mind-bending field. (Views expressed are those of the hosts and do not represent Vanderbilt Univ or Attune Neurosciences Inc.)
