Quick Summary
Our overarching goal is to reliably induce deep and beneficial states of meditation with neuromodulation. Here, we target three candidate regions of the brain: Posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), Caudate, and Insula via non-invasive focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation while probing the quality of meditation in experts. PCC and Caudate FUS appears effective.
