Ultrasound can be safely focused at a millimetre scale, even deep within the brain, and modulate neural activity. Ultrasound thus has the potential to provide new insights into how the brain works and help us develop new treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Our human cognitive skills trump those of our primate relatives in many domains, ranging from logical reasoning to managing complex social lives and from tool-use to language. A basic yet powerful faculty might underlie many of these characteristic functions of the human mind: instant conceptual inference.

The evolutionary emergence of our human ability to quickly infer upon conceptual relationships likely relies on the relative re-organization of large-scale connections in the human brain compared to those in other primates since our last common ancestor.
