A new miniaturized figure-of-eight coil (μCoil) for TMS applications has been developed taking advantage of the Flex circuit technology. First experiments on volunteers demonstrated the ability of the μCoil to elicit sensorial action potentials of the peripheral nervous system. The necessity of reducing the size of standard TMS stimulator arises from the poor spatial resolution of the latter. This study aims to model the μCoil and study the electromagnetic fields induced inside the arm during peripheral nerve stimulation. Results confirmed that the μCoil is capable of inducing a focalized electric field inside the tissues with amplitudes up to 70V/m consistent with the observed peripheral nerve stimulation in healthy volunteers. |
