LIFU for Anxiety Management
Sponsor: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Summary
This study is examining the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on anxiety. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) will be utilized to neuromodulate the brain prior to a task (NPU). Physiological recordings will be taken throughout (EEG, EMG, HR, BP, RR, GSR).
Official title: Investigation of Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound for Human Anxiety Management

Interventions
Low-intensity focused ultrasound
A noninvasive brain stimulation device using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) - ultrasound will be used to test whether noninvasive brain stimulation can reduce reactions to sensory stimuli.
Low-intensity focused ultrasound - sham
A sham condition that will mimic the application of LIFU without actually administering any ultrasound to the brain.
