[Simnibs-discuss] creating rTMS e-field model with a known MNI coordinate

[Axel Thielscher]

Hi,


in the graphical user interface, you can only define coil positions on 
the skin surface. You do not define target positions in the brain, but 
just where the coil is localed on the head. If you want to get a coil 
position that is optimal to target a specific brain region, please have 
a look at the ADM optimization approach.


Best,

Axel
