Electrical And 14agnetic Transcranial Excitation: Focal Stimulation And Safety Aspects

A discretized model of the head derived from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was adopted to study the distribution of the current induced by magnetic, electrical or combined magneto-electrical stimulation. The method proposed allows to estimate the absolute values of induced current across area in different parts of the brain. The electrical and magnetic techniques are matched for safety aspects and capability to obtain a focal stimulation.
