[Simnibs-discuss] using simNIBS in brain injury populations

[Axel Thielscher]

Dear Athena,

this is a good question which is not easy to answer. I would assume that 
the conductivity changes in gray and white matter correlate roughly with 
the diffusion changes seen in DTI. So a first step could be to simply 
quantify the diffusion changes compared to healthy subjects to get an 
initial impression on whether adjustments of the conductivity values 
might be needed.

You can map the results back to subject-specific nifti or to MNI (using 
eg. the options menu in the GUI) to read out voxel-specfic values.

Best regards,

Axel
