Elsa Fouragnan is a Professor in Neuroscience and the Director of the Brain Research Imaging Centre at the University of Plymouth, UK. Her work focuses on the pioneering use of transcranial ultrasound stimulation in humans, particularly in brain circuits related to decision making and learning. Her career transitioned from biomedical engineering to neuroscience, with postdoctoral fellowships at Glasgow and Oxford. In 2018, she started her lab to study neuroplasticity induced by focused ultrasound in brain circuits mediating adaptive and dysfunctional decision making. After many proof of concepts studies showing that ultrasound can induced neuroplasticity in humans, she is now bringing this technology forward to apply it to mental health disorders, particularly Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder. Her lab organises annual workshops to train academics and non-academics to use the technology and contributes to ITRUSST, a consortium advancing ultrasound for neuromodulation. Elsa is also a UKRI Future Leader Fellow, BBSRC recipient and an ARIA R&D creator.
