Research Focus
Dr. Brett C. Byram's lab at Vanderbilt University focuses on developing innovative imaging techniques to better understand and diagnose neurological disorders. Using advanced methods in transcranial functional ultrasound, the lab aims to create a non-invasive tool for visualizing brain activity in adult humans. This research is particularly relevant for improving mental health diagnostics and addressing the significant public health burden posed by neurological conditions.
