Precise targeting for TUS is crucial. However, images for navigation are often acquired in a different position even though positioning of the head has considerable impact on brain shifting; a problem which has not been discussed enough in the TUS community.

I totally agree! Especially considering that there are not just 2 theories out there and even if - falsifying one (which btw hasn't been done either) does not verify the other!
i have been mulling whether/how to say something this since the press releases started coming out 4 days ago, but feel i need to say something now.
i am deeply disappointed in how the media has covered recent findings in consciousness science.

I think this is very important to raise awareness and start a serious discussion. I am not sure pausing development is a solution though since probably not all countries would commit. Thus, there's even more need for pushing consciousness research
1/🧵 I'm happy to co-sign this new open letter calling for massively increased support for research into consciousness, in the face of the rapid acceleration of AI. 🙏🏽 @JohannesKleiner &c for leading the initiative .@theASSC .@CIFAR_News@BBCTech
