Abstract

A stereotactic device wearable by a patient for low-intensity focused-ultrasound neuromodulation has a support frame shaped to be fitted around a head of the patient, a first movable component having an arched shape and having a first end and a second end engaged with the support frame at respective first and second coupling points. A second movable component has an engagement portion with the first movable component adapted to allow the second movable component to move integrally with the first movable component and to slide along the first movable component to take a plurality of positions between a first position in which the second movable component is proximal to the first end and a second position in which the second movable component is proximal to the second end. A low-intensity focused-ultrasound neuromodulation module housed in a support portion of the second movable component has a low-intensity focused-ultrasound sonication probe.
