The Hypersonic Project

Array Therapeutic is pioneering research for the application of ultrasound to stimulate biological cells for the treatment of pain and neural disorders. Recent advancements in the fundamental understanding of the mechanics of cellular biology and in tools for measuring these processes has enabled a unique opportunity to study the interaction of hypersonic sound (above the range of human hearing) with the human body.

Previous research has identified the existence of a hypersonic effect, in which brain wave activity and cerebral blood flow are increased in the presence of the combination of audible and hypersonic sound waves. Our goal is to identify the cellular mechanisms for these physiological changes and to use this information to further study its potential application in the treatment of neural disorder and pain.
