  • Abstract
    The paper presents a computer simulation of the transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain with a low-frequency magnetic field, a technique which is proposed to replace the electroconvulsive treatment in psychiatry. The field model is based on the T-/spl Omega/ formulation, that, by the low electric conductivity and constant magnetic permeability of the human tissue, allows us to build a finite-element model of the head only.
