💡 Why it matters:
These results highlight taVNS as a promising, well-tolerated tool for modulating emotional bias, with potential applications in mood and anxiety disorders.

✨ Key findings:
Both E-taVNS and U-taVNS shifted emotional bias toward more positive interpretations, even for ambiguous faces.

Ultrasound stimulation showed better tolerability, suggesting strong potential for long-term use.

Thrilled to share our preprint exploring how non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation can shape emotional processing in young adults.

🔍 What we studied:
We compared electrical (E-taVNS) and ultrasound (U-taVNS) stimulation (zenbud.health ) while participants completed a facial emotion bias task.

It is not about particular countries but more that number of patents is not really linked to number of companies/employees

yes, this is does not go through the skull: it just reaches branches of the vagus nerve around the ear

You need to be registered healthcare practitioner in the UK. If so, you can contact the programme manager Roxanne for the application form. The deadline is this Tuesday.

In conclusion, our investigation in a high-powered awake non-human primate dataset shows that some FUS effects across the network last for an hour, maybe longer.

This approach could be translated to humans by using several acquisitions per subject or longer sequences.
