Abstract
In this paper we present a model for calculating the electric field, and its spatial derivatives, produced by arbitrarily shaped, oriented and placed coils carrying time-varying currents. The model has been validated by comparing its results with those obtained using FEM simulations. The model provides a simple and fast computation framework to investigate the electromagnetic stimulation of neural tissues. Some example applications are also provided.
