PlanTUS-transducer position

Finding optimal transducer position for each participant is hard. You certainly can’t run all possible individualized simulations. Here’s a way to start better:

Find positions that respect
- transducer focus limits
- skull thickness
- transducer tilt, etc.

#PlanTUS
🎯 Meet 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐓𝐔𝐒: a fast, open-source tool to pick where to place a transducer for transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS) on an individual head – before you run heavy simulations.
