| 1. A method for disrupting at least one function of a targeted biologic structure, which comprises:
a) determining at least one resonant acousto-EM energy of said biologic structure; and
b) targeting the biologic structure by providing to the biologic structure at least a portion of said at least one acousto-EM
energy of the biologic structure to induce acoustic resonance in at least a portion of the biologic structure.
