Magnetic focusing by magnetic shielding for Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

Instruction: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is one of the most widely used methods for brain stimulation. It is utilized in diagnosis and treatment for many neural diseases, such as neuropathic pain and loss of function caused by stroke. Current commercial TMS stimulators cannot provide well targeted stimulation. Due to fast field divergence, the effective distance in TMS is limited to around 1.5 cm. A breakthrough is needed to achieve non-invasive, focused brain stimulation.
