Abstract :
A model for the computation of induced electric fields into a sphere is presented. Input into the model is the time waveform of the current in the coil; the geometry of both the head tissues and of the coil can be taken into account, to reproduce the influence of these variables upon the intracranial electric fields. In these preliminary results, the proposed model has been validated in several test examples reproducing some real situations.
