## Summary

Teams including the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences present a noninvasive ultrasound brain-computer interface that delivers targeted ultrasound without skull opening or implanted electrodes. In a preliminary study with Kunming Medical University, 13 of 24 participants with chronic disorders of consciousness showed clear improvements in conscious behavior after three 20-minute sessions a week for four weeks. The study was small and early, and the report mentions no regulatory approval.
