New publication led by lab postdoc Valeria Grasso now available in Neuropsychopharmacology.

We found that ketamine-induced functional connectivity changes are sex-dependent and are modulated by opioid receptor blockade. We also quantified dynamic functional connectivity measures, and found that ketamine produced an opioid-dependent shift toward states of increased dysconnectivity and...

Lab receives support from the NSF NAIRR Pilot program

We are thrilled to receive the support of the NAIRR Pilot program of the US National Science Foundation. This program will provide access to extensive computational resources to train our deep learning models.

Our research group is growing!

This month we welcome a new lab member, Edouard Koehn! Edi has just completed a master's degree in Neuroengineering from EPFL (Lausanne), and joins us to work on machine learning applications in ultrasound imaging. Welcome Edi!

Dr. Di Ianni presented at the SBMT Annual NeuroTech Convention

Tommaso presented at the Annual NeuroTech Convention of the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Lab receives FUS Foundation Award

We received a grant (in 2024) from the Focused Ultrasound Foundation to map the parameter space of ultrasound neuromodulation in patients. This project is a collaboration with Dr. Leo Sugrue (UCSF Radiology).

Dr. Di Ianni received the Leonardo Award 2024 in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering

Tommaso received the Leonardo Award 2024 in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering from the Leonardo da Vinci Society and ISSNAF (Italian Scientists and Scholars of North America Foundation)! The recognition was delivered by Consul General Sergio Strozzi at the gala dinner on December 12, 2024.

Valeria presented at the 2024 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium

Valeria presented her work on unsupervised clustering of dynamic functional connectivity at the 2024 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium in Taipei (Taiwan).

Summer 2024 update

  We are excited to welcome several new lab members:

Lab receives UCSF Catalyst Award!

We are incredibly excited to receive a UCSF Catalyst Award to continue our work in closed-loop ultrasound neuromodulation!

Congratulations Laura on receiving a UC Berkeley SWAN Research Award!

Lab member Laura Cho received a SWAN Resarch Award from the UC Berkeley Department of Psychology for her work in functional ultrasound imaging. Congratulations!!
