Ep. 22 Brad Treeby once and for all
After a long hibernation, Keith and Charles awake to find k-Wave creator and legendary acoustic simulation scientist Brad Treeby. Brad tells the gang a tale of courage, leaving a life held dear to reinvent how a full-head arrays couple through the hair, and what it’s like to sit inside one. Join your fussiest friends to hear all about the launch of Neuroharmonics hair rockets, the origins of k-Wave, Midjourneys ultrasound CT, academia-industry clash, and why no one reads the k-wave manual.

Ep. 20 Zhihai Qiu unheard of
This month we're joined by Zhihai Qiu, principle investigator at the Guandong Institute of Science and Technology. While many know him as the first scientist to genetically encode ultrasound sensitivity into the mammalian brain, we know him as a compassionate researcher and friend of the community; driven by curiosity and deep collaboration. Listen in as we follow his journey as a physicist turned geneticist turned neuroscientist, a life across continents, and what he believes to be a bright future for us all. https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(20)31018-4

Ep. 19 Lennart Verhagen a very fus future
This week, Keith and Charles catch up with an old friend, founder of the International Transcranial Ultrasound Safety and Standards Consortium, Associate Professor at Radboud University, and just possibly an avid FUS Forward listener (??), Lennart Verhagen. Since hosting the very first ultrasound neuromodulation conference in Oxford in 2019, Lennart has been fighting to build a community and stable science one brick at a time. Follow our journey through fear, memory, and fantastic futures as we stare deep into the looking glass.

Ep. 18 Michael Brotherton looking in
With limited supply and massive demand for opportunity in neurotech, it's not always clear how to fit in. This week we're joined by neurotechnology investor, community builder, and managing partner at Dragonfly 44 Capital, Michael Brotherton. Michaels taken the long road in, from bench-side scientist, to Michelin star chef (not Michelin), and we guarantee this episode will inspire. Join us this week to hear about a range of topics from psychedelics regulation to new biomarkers and community building with a lot of life lessons along the way.

Ep. 16 Jean-Francois Aubry one with waves
In a field moving this fast, it's important to remember that everything we take for granted was someone's lifetime of dedication. In our journey to collect their untold stories we catch up with one of the fields heroes, Jean-Francois Aubry, the Director of Research at the French National Center for Scientific Research, the Scientific Director of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation Center of Excellence at Physics for Medicine Paris, and co-founder of SonoMind. This episode is a wealth of historical context for acoustic array and lens design, through-skull transmit-receive, first steps in safely modulating the brain, scientific mentorship, and a forward looking sentiment for the mass treatment of depression. It is an absolute must listen for all those in the space.
