Study: The Ideal Coil Design For TMS of Deep Brain Regions | BrainsWay

A coil design for transcranial magnetic stimulation of deep brain regions.

Roth, Y., Zangen, A., & Hallett, M. (2002). Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 19(4), 361-370.

This paper introduces, for the first time, the BrainsWay® Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) H-coil. The paper illustrates the considerations relevant to the design of the coil and compares the H-coil to a standard coil using a model of the human head. The study demonstrates that the electric field generated by the H-coil decays at a much slower pace than the electric field generated by the standard coil, indicating the H-Coil’s deeper penetration of the brain.
