Skull Bone Physics: Human calvarium introduces acoustic velocity mismatch (2800 m/s in cortical bone vs 1540 m/s in brain tissue) causing severe wave defocusing. CT-derived time-reversal beamforming corrects each element's phase to synthesize a sharp millimeter focal point inside the Ventral Striatum.

Model based on clinical trial data: 10-minute sonication of Ventral Striatum downregulates hyper-sensitized cue-induced methamphetamine craving.
Mechanism of Action: Focused sound waves generate sub-megapascal acoustic radiation forces on mechanosensitive ion channels (PIEZO2, TRP channels) and astrocytic membranes, interrupting pathological addiction oscillatory synchronization in the reward circuit without neurosurgical incisions or electrode implantation.
