The Optimal Design of Magnetic Coil in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Guizhi Xu, Ming‐Shi Wang, Yong Chen, Shuo Yang, Weili Yan

Open publisher page 24 citations

Abstract

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a new tool for the study of the human brain and for neurological therapeutics. Magnetic coil design is very important in the TMS technique. Precise spatial localization of stimulation sites is the key of efficient functional magnetic stimulations. This paper develops circular coils, figure-of-8 coils and coil array elements in order to realize a transcranial magnetic stimulator, and analyses the coil properties. The results show that different coils have different focus.
