Rintoul JL, Neufeld E, Butler C, et al., 2023, Remote focused encoding and decoding of electric fields through acoustoelectric heterodyning, Communications Physics, Vol: 6, ISSN: 2399-3650
Heterodyning of signals through physical multiplication is the building block of numerous modern technologies. Yet, it has been mostly limited to the interaction between electromagnetic fields. Here, we report that heterodyning occurs also between acoustic and electric fields in liquid electrolytes. We predict acoustoelectric heterodyning via computational field modelling, which accounts for the vector nature of the electrolytic acoustoelectric interaction. We then experimentally validate the spatiotemporal characteristics of the field emerging from the acoustoelectric heterodyning effect. The electric field distribution generated by the applied fields can be controlled by the propagating acoustic field and the orientation of the applied electric field, enabling the focusing of the resulting electric field at remote locations. Finally, we demonstrate detection of multi-frequency ionic currents at a distant focal location via signal demodulation using pressure waves in electrolytic liquids. As such, acoustoelectric heterodyning could open possibilities in non-invasive biomedical and bioelectronics applications.
Hebron H, Lugli B, Dimitrova R, et al., 2022, Perfect Timing: Effects of Auditory Stimulation on Alpha Oscillations During Wakefulness and the Transition to Sleep are Phase-dependent in Humans
<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>The waking brain’s ubiquitous alpha oscillations are thought to play an important role in managing the brain’s resources, inhibiting neural activity as a function of their phase and amplitude. In accordance with this physiological excitability, perceptual and cognitive processes fluctuate with alpha oscillations. Here we demonstrate that the alpha rhythm can be manipulated with sound in a phase-dependent manner, showing that repeated phase-locked sounds alter the frequency of these oscillations in a spatially localised manner. We draw on oscillator theory to explore the origin of this frequency change, using phase-locked auditory evoked potentials to show a putative phase-reset mechanism, which is dependent on the amplitude of the endogenous alpha oscillations. Finally, we demonstrate the functional relevance of this approach by showing that we can modulate the transition to sleep, using sound, in an alpha phase-dependent manner. Overall, we conclude that the phase of alpha oscillations can be exploited in real-time, and highlight alpha phase-locked auditory stimulation as a powerful method by which to both selectively augment and investigate the brain’s pertinent oscillations.</jats:p>

Schreglmann S, Wang D, Peach R, et al., 2020, Non-invasive amelioration of essential tremor via phase-locked disruption of its temporal coherence, Nature Communications, Vol: 12, ISSN: 2041-1723
Abstract Aberrant neural oscillations hallmark numerous brain disorders. Here, we first report a method to track the phase of neural oscillations in real-time via endpoint-corrected Hilbert transform (ecHT) that mitigates the characteristic Gibbs distortion. We then used ecHT to show that the aberrant neural oscillation that hallmarks essential tremor (ET) syndrome, the most common adult movement disorder, can be noninvasively suppressed via electrical stimulation of the cerebellum phase-locked to the tremor. The tremor suppression is sustained after the end of the stimulation and can be phenomenologically predicted. Finally, using feature-based statistical-learning and neurophysiological-modelling we show that the suppression of ET is mechanistically attributed to a disruption of the temporal coherence of the oscillation via perturbation of the tremor generating a cascade of synchronous activity in the olivocerebellar loop. The suppression of aberrant neural oscillation via phase-locked driven disruption of temporal coherence may represent a powerful neuromodulatory strategy to treat brain disorders.

We report a noninvasive strategy for electrically stimulating neurons at depth. By delivering to the brain multiple electric fields at frequencies too high to recruit neural firing, but which differ by a frequency within the dynamic range of neural firing, we can electrically stimulate neurons throughout a region where interference between the multiple fields results in a prominent electric field envelope modulated at the difference frequency. We validated this temporal interference (TI) concept via modeling and physics experiments, and verified that neurons in the living mouse brain could follow the electric field envelope. We demonstrate the utility of TI stimulation by stimulating neurons in the hippocampus of living mice without recruiting neurons of the overlying cortex. Finally, we show that by altering the currents delivered to a set of immobile electrodes, we can steerably evoke different motor patterns in living mice.

We have developed a testing platform for a novel type of retinal prosthesis. Our system uses an array of light sources as non-contact stimulators. The platform consists of an imaging system based on a CMOS camera, PC based image processing, and a stimulation address system carried out on a Field Programmable Gated Array which addresses a matrix array of LEDs. Special optics are used to focus the light from the LED array onto light sensitized cells.
