Electric field depth–focality tradeoff in transcranial magnetic stimulation: simulation comparison of 50 coil designs

摘要

BackgroundVarious transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil designs are available or have been proposed. However, key coil characteristics such as electric field focality and attenuation in depth have not been adequately compared. Knowledge of the coil focality and depth characteristics can help TMS researchers and clinicians with coil selection and interpretation of TMS studies.
