A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING THE CONFIGURATION OF MULTISITE TRANSCRANIAL CURRENT STIMULATION AND A COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a system for optimizing the configuration of multisite transcranial current stimulation, where the method comprises: - providing a target map on the brain's cortex, said target map including one or multiple cortical targets which are localized and/or continuously varying and spatially extended; - providing a weight map on the cortical surface prioritizing the areas in said target map for the purposes of optimization; and - calculating, based on said target and weight maps, optimal currents and optimal locations for a plurality of electrodes intended for providing transcranial current stimulation to globally stimulate at once said multiple cortical targets with excitatory, inhibitory or neutral stimulation. The system is adapted to implement the method of the invention. A computer-readable medium and a computer program containing program instructions for a computer to perform the method of the invention are also proposed by the present invention.
