fUSi - Real-time brain activity

fUSI emerges nowadays as a breakthrough modality based on Doppler ultrasound and can record real-time activity over the entire brain at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution for such volumes (100 µm3 voxel size, 100 ms). The fUSI technology offers the high sensitivity and reproducibility required by modern neuroscience research in chronic and behaving animal models.

Our team is developing the most versatile and costless ultrasound on silicon chip device on the market in collaboration with several industrial partners, offering advanced 4D capabilities (3D in time) for preclinical and clinical research. Hence, by combining Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer (MUT) with high channel counts, wide bandwidth, high efficiency, and ASIC technologies for real-time image processing and artificial intelligence analysis, we extend the range of applications for fUS imaging.

We aim to expand the fUSi technology and we are currently collaborating with a growing network of scientists in academic, clinic and industry located in Belgium and abroad (EU, UK and USA). It currently represents an active community of more than 25 principal investigators. We aim at establishing direct relationships with stakeholders, including patient associations and authorities towards an efficient transfer of our technologies to the market.
