Design of optimal wearable ultrasound probe for neonatal functional ultrasound imaging using an in silico realistic brain phantom and in vitro validation.
Project description : Objective of the project: determine the characteristics of an optimal ultrasound imaging (sensor and imaging mode) for functional ultrasound brain monitoring in the neonate. Context: Recent work at Physique pour la Médecine Paris has opened major new possibilities for using ultrasound in neuroscience. We developed a new brain imaging method called functional […]
Neuroimaging in Neonates using Functional Ultrasound (fUS)
Project description : Context How does premature birth affect functional brain organisation? The CONEXUS project addresses this question via a prospective cohort study building a multimodal database of neonates imaged with functional ultrasound (fUS) across early neurodevelopment. The goal is to establish normative references for brain activity and functional connectivity in the developing brain using fUS, […]
Research Internship – Simulation of ultrasound propagation in the human cochlea for neuromodulation of ganglionar cells in hearing restoration
Objective of the project: determine via ultrasound propagation simulations if neuromodulation of neurons in the cochlea is doable. Context: Hearing restoration using cochlear implant is very widely used (more than 1 million people implanted worldwide) but non-optimal due to unbridgeable constraints: limitation in spatial resolution of electrical stimulation via an electrode array due to conduction […]

Internship – Design and testing of hydrogel prototypes for improved skin-probe coupling in ultrasound imaging
Background: Ultrasound is the most wide-spread imaging modality in the clinic, with the advantage of being portable and moderately inexpensive. However, it has traditionally suffered from the trade-off between resolution and framerate, limiting its resolution to the order of 1mm. Introduced in 2015, a novel imaging modality called ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has allowed considerably […]
