[Simnibs-discuss] tDCS optimization for 4x1 set-up

[Oula]

Hi Steve,

We don't have an optimization procedure for the 4x1 yet. You can 
simulate different configurations with the currents you have specified 
and read the e-field at the target (and outside the target if you're 
interested in focality). Then pick the one that matches your 
optimization criteria best. For hitting a target the best configuration 
will most likely have the center electrode directly above the target. 
The radius of the montage (how far the surrounding electrodes are) will 
depend on how deep the target is.

The other option is to run the optimization as Axel pointed out in the 
previous answer and change the target intensity parameter so that the 
optimized currents match the ones you're after as you say.

Best,
Oula
