METHOD AND COMPUTING DEVICE FOR GENERATING A BRAIN STIMULATION TREATMENT ATLAS

摘要

A method for generating a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment atlas includes computing (or measuring) an electric field (E-field) intensity induced by TMS of a location of a cortex of each of a plurality of patients, resulting in a plurality of E-field values; determining a treatment efficacy for each of the plurality of patients, resulting in a plurality of efficacy values; calculating a correlation between the plurality of E-field values and the plurality of efficacy values, resulting in a correlation value for each cortical location; and generating a TMS treatment atlas based on the plurality of correlation values. This atlas on the cortical surface can be extended to include large-scale networks throughout the brain.
