Abstract
Cranial acoustic coupling apparatuses and methods to improve coupling to the head for use in transcranial focused ultrasound systems (tFUS) are disclosed. The apparatuses are constructed using multiple components and layers to reduce the air gaps due to head curvature and smaller-scale features such as dimples, hair, and so on. An apparatus or system can include a holder unit and an attachment puck. The holder unit can include one or more ultrasound transducers. The attachment puck can include an attachment layer that interfaces with a head.
