US20200188700

1. A device wearable by or attached to or implanted within a person, comprising: (4) (2)

a sensor configured to detect an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal from the brain of the person; and

a transducer configured to apply to the brain a low power, substantially non-destructive ultrasound signal.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ultrasound signal has a frequency between 100 kHz and 1 MHz, a spatial resolution between 0.001 cm³and 0.1 cm³, and/or a power density between 1 and 100 watts/cm²as measured by spatial-peak pulse-average intensity. (0)

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensor and the transducer are disposed on the head of the person in a non-invasive manner. (0)

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ultrasound signal suppresses an epileptic seizure. (0)

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, comprising: (2) (1)

a processor in communication with the sensor and the transducer, the processor programmed to: receive, from the sensor, the EEG signal detected from the brain; and

transmit an instruction to the transducer to apply to the brain the ultrasound signal.

6. The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the processor is programmed to transmit the instruction to the transducer to apply to the brain the ultrasound signal at one or more random intervals. (1) (0)

8. The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the processor is programmed to: (0) (2)

9. A method for operating a device wearable by or attached to or implanted within a person, the device including a sensor configured to detect an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal from the brain of the person and a transducer configured to apply to the brain a low power, substantially non-destructive ultrasound signal, comprising: (0) (2)

10. An apparatus comprising: (0) (1)
