A sound wave exiting the skull propagates through the brain with speed cB and through the skull with speed cS. Upon exiting the skull, the wavefront is incident on the elements of a matrix array (dotted outlines). The delays at each element Δt (x,y) are a function of the spatial variation of the skull’s thickness, Δz (x,y).
