[Simnibs-discuss] Clinical Application of SimNIBS

[Axel Thielscher]

Hi,

SimNIBS did not undergo an approval process (FDA or CE) for software for 
clinical applications. This is a very costly and time intensive step. 
This is why we have the disclaimer on the homepage. We still aim to 
provide high quality software and documentation.

Best regards,

Axel
