Disclosed are methods and systems for non-invasive ultrasound stimulation of neural structures, whether the central nervous systems (such as the brain), nerve roots, or peripheral nerves using macro- and micro-pulse shaping. Which macro-pulse and micro-pulse shapes are most effect depends on the target. This can be assessed either by functional results (e.g., doing motor cortex stimulation and seeing which macro- and micro-pulse shape combination causes the greatest motor response) or by imaging (e.g., PET of fMRI) results.
