Modelling of Deep Trascranial Magnetic Stimulation: Electric Field Distributions Induced in a Realistic Human Model by Different Coil Designs
Conference Paper
Publication Date:

abstract:
This paper investigates the induced electric field
distributions in a realistic human head model due to 16 coil
configurations. We used the scalar potential finite element
method differentiating the brain structures. We found that,
despite the presence of a depth-focality tradeoff, some coils are
able to reach subcortical white matter tracts at effective electric
field level.
