AbstractTranscranial current stimulation (tCS or tES) protocols yield results that are highly variable across individuals. Part of this variability results from differences in the electric field (E-field) induced in subjects’ brains during stimulation. The E-field determines how neurons respond to stimulation, and it can be used as a proxy for predicting the concurrent effects of stimulation, like changes in cortical excitability, and, ultimately, its plastic effects. While the use of multichannel systems with small electrodes has provided a more precise tool for delivering tCS, individually variable anatomical parameters like the shape and thickness of tissues affect the E-field distribution for a specific electrode montage. Therefore, using the same montage parameters across subjects does not lead to the homogeneity of E-field amplitude over the desired targets. Here we describe a pipeline that leverages individualized head models combined with montage optimization algorithms to reduce the variability of the E-field distributions over subjects in tCS. We will describe the different steps of the pipeline – namely, MRI segmentation and head model creation, target specification, and montage optimization – and discuss their main advantages and limitations.

It is significant to note field aberrations (chromatic field aberration, coma, astigmatism and blurring due to curvature of field, defined by Glaser's aberration theory relative to the Blenden Freien System) of the objective lens in connection with the following three points of view; field aberrations increase as the resolution of the axial point improves by increasing the lens excitation (k2) and decreasing the half width value (d) of the axial lens field distribution; when one or all of the imaging lenses have axial imperfections such as beam deflection in image space by the asymmetrical magnetic leakage flux, the apparent axial point has field aberrations which prevent the theoretical resolution limit from being obtained.

Magnetic lenses operating in partial saturation offer two advantages in HVEM: they exhibit small cs and cc and their power depends little on the excitation IN. Curve H, Fig. 1, shows that the maximal axial flux density Bz max of one of the lenses investigated changes between points (3) and (4) by 5% as the excitation varies by 40%. Consequently, the designer can relax the requirements concerning the stability of the lens current supplies. Saturated lenses, however, can only be used if (i) unwanted fields along the optical axis can be controlled, (ii) 'wobbling' of the optical axis due to inhomogeneous saturation around the pole piece faces is prevented, (iii) ample ampere-turns can be squeezed into the space available, and (iv) the lens operating point covers a sufficient range of accelerating voltages.
