    Abstract: The disclosure provides brain tissue acousto-optic apparatus and methods. The apparatus comprises an optical source (201) configured to emit light towards a target volume (250) containing brain tissue of a living subject, an optical detector (202) configured to detect light from the target volume, and an ultrasound source (203) arranged to provide an ultrasound field of spatially varying ultrasound amplitude in the target volume. The ultrasound field is arranged to modify the optical path length of light (212, 214) passing through the target volume (250), and to define a plurality of regions (210a-210f) in the target volume (250), wherein each region (210a-210f) provides a unique modification of the optical path length (212, 214).
