Abstract: A head-wearable device is configured to hold at least one ultrasound transducer such that it is properly positioned for brain stimulation. Such a head-wearable device can help to ensure that the transducer makes sufficient contact with the user's head to allow for efficient ultrasound coupling. Each device may also ensure that the ultrasound transducer maintains the same orientation and position relative to the head across successive donning and doffing of the device.
