The system
How QuietScan works
The child sits on a parent’s lap and wears a soft cap. The session is designed to last under five minutes, with no sedation. The clinician receives a 3D map of active and quieter regions — a monitoring view, not a diagnosis and not a treatment.
Physics and design follow. MATLAB and ANSYS cases are simulations. The wearable has not been fabricated.

Lab trials
How the beam finds the brain
Working simulation cases. Not human clinical data. Not a diagnostic output.
Green is energy in the right place. Red is energy that missed.
Case 4 — Image-based cortical target
Image-based focusing on a synthetic cortical mask. After the skull, the beam should stay in the region — not smear into neighboring tissue.
Case 5 — AI-estimated delays
An AI delay map is estimated element by element and compared with the true delays. AI-corrected focus approaches perfect correction; clutter falls from the aberrated case toward the ideal.
