Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulation technique.
  • Computer simulations are used to understand tDCS current flow in tissues.
  • Existing simulation methods require validation with physical models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a high-fidelity 3D head phantom model for tDCS.
  • To incorporate sensing capabilities at various compartmental levels.
  • To improve understanding of tDCS effects on biology-mimicking tissues.

Main Methods:

  • 3D printed molds were created from MRI images.
  • Agar phantoms were fabricated with 18 monitoring electrodes.
  • Electrode placement targeted specific phantom brain areas.

Main Results:

  • Measured and simulated voltages showed good agreement with rectangular electrodes, except at excitation sites.
  • Circular electrodes provided better electric field confinement than rectangular ones.
  • The 3D head model demonstrated feasibility and comparability with simulations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 3D head phantom model is feasible for tDCS research.
  • The model shows a high correlation between simulated and measured brain voltages.
  • Further testing is recommended to validate the model's reliability.
