  • Abstract
    This paper aims in interpreting the leg muscles responses recorded by electromyography during magnetic stimulation of the spinal cord by computing the electric field induced in the spinal cord and the nearby areas during this procedure. A simplified model of the spine was created and a Finite Difference Method algorithm was implemented in Matlab.
