Project Description
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) utilizes the properties of magnetic fields for noninvasive procedures that stimulate specific regions of the brain. TMS is currently used to treat depression, but the potential uses of TMS treatment reach much further, including Parkinson’s disease, post tramatic stress disorder and other deep brain neurological disorders. Current coil designs cannot produce magnetic fields that can effectively and acuratley stimulate regions deep within the brain.
In order to use TMS to treat deep brain neurological disordes, a new TMS coil must be developed. Previously, the Halo Coil was developed to increase the depth of TMS coils. This design must be further improved upon to produce even greater depth and accuracy of the magnetic fields. This brings us to our development. We must design, simulate, and fabricate the new Triple Halo Coil.
