  • Research on the brain phantom for transcranial electromagnetic neuromodulation

    Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a widely used neuroregulatory technique, has been proven to be effective in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. The therapeutic effect is closely related to the intracranial electric field caused by TMS, thus accurate measurement of the intracranial electric field generated by TMS is of great significance. However, direct intracranial measurement in human brain faces various technical, safety, ethical and other limitations. Therefore, we have constructed a brain phantom that can simulate the electrical conductivity and anatomical structure of the real brain, in order to replace the clinical trial to achieve intracranial electric field measurement. We selected and prepared suitable conductive materials based on the electrical conductivity of various layers of the real brain tissue, and performed image segmentation, three-dimensional reconstruction and three-dimensional printing processes on each layer of tissue based on magnetic resonance images. The production of each layer of tissue in the brain phantom was completed, and each layer of tissue was combined to form a complete brain phantom. The induced electric field generated by the TMS coil applied to the brain phantom was measured to further verify the conductivity of the brain phantom. Our study provides an effective experimental tool for studying the distribution of intracranial electric fields caused by TMS.
