High-sensitivity and spatial resolution transient magnetic and electric field probes for transcranial magnetic stimulator characterizations

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely used for noninvasive brain stimulation. However, existing TMS tools cannot deliver targeted neural stimulation to deep brain regions, even though many important neurological disorders originate from there. To design TMS tools capable of delivering deep and focused stimulation, we have developed both electric and magnetic field probes to evaluate and improve new designs and calibrate products....
