[Simnibs-discuss] Helmoltz-Like Coil_Simnibs Modelisation

[Axel Thielscher]

Hi,

yes, it's for a current flow of 1A. The origin and coil orienations are 
defined by the header information in the nifti (the qform/sform matrices 
- please keep them identical to avoid weird behaviors). It's a 6 DoF 
transformation between voxel indices and real world coordinates (in mm).


Best regards,

Axel
