Forest 1 - Bryant McGill

# Forest 1 **Aliases:** Forest 1 next version **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] ## Definition **Forest 1** is a concept or analytic term. [[wiki/Arbor Neuroscience|Arbor Neuroscience]] is associated with **Forest 1**. Wearable functional-ultrasound platform inherited from Forest lineage. Forest 1 contains 8960-element Butterfly Ultrasound-on-Chip ASIC. Probe uses Butterfly semiconductor ultrasound. Forest 1 uses [[wiki/functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI)|functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI)]]. Hemodynamic neural-activity readout. The entry centers on the concept's meaning, practical use, and boundaries, together with the examples that make the distinction operational rather than merely verbal. ## Relationships  This entry is routed through [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] and [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]].
