Abstract:
The current work presents a computational pipeline to simulate transcranial direct current stimulation from image based models of the head with SCIRun [15]. The pipeline contains all the steps necessary to carry out the simulations and is supported by a complete suite of open source software tools: image visualization, segmentation, mesh generation, tDCS electrode generation and efficient tDCS forward simulation.
