Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is important to allocate the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil on the target location for each cortical region. A figure-of-eight coil is conventionally used for focal stimulation with the resolution of a few millimeters. An operator is required to place the coil on the targeting area by trial and error. A TMS coil navigator is available to visualize the stimulating site. Commercial navigation systems need a high-accuracy three-dimensional camera for locating the coil and the subject’s head. Hence, the current system is not cost-efficient. In this study, we propose the camera-less recursive coil allocation method by spreading a magnetic field pattern and confirm the validity of the developed system through the use of a phantom head model.We confirmed that the TMS operator could be successful using our system. Thus, we showed that our proposed method was useful in allocating the TMS coil for the target position, recursively.
