Rapid whole-brain electric field mapping in transcranial magnetic stimulation using deep learning.

ABSTRACT: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation technique that is increasingly used in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders and neuroscience research. Due to the complex structure of the brain and the electrical conductivity variation across subjects, identification of subject-specific brain regions for TMS is important to improve the treatment efficacy and understand the mechanism of treatment response. Numerical computations have been used to estimate the stimulated electric field (E-field) by TMS in brain tissue. But the relative long computation time limits the application of this approach. In this paper, we propose a deep-neural-network based approach to expedite the estimation of whole-brain E-field by using a neural network architecture, named 3D-MS
