the device directly targets the olfactory bulb in your brain with “focused ultrasound through the skull”
Fascinating! I never would have expected this outcome.
Never underestimate the value of a college education
The only real question is can we mod Skyrim to smell like cedar
So they’re gonna be shooting ultrasound at me in the cinema so I can smell what The Rock is cooking?
The news really stinks lately.
Interesting use. I wonder how safe it is long term, but assume the ultrasonic energy is probably kept low enough that it (presumably) won’t lyse cells. I still wonder how it will affect proteins structures, etc or if it will lead to leaking through membranes of cellular structures.
It reminds me of histotripsy, which was approved for cancer therapy a few years ago. Cool ideas and it seems like the uses of ultrasonication are finally making their way outside of laboratories.
