"Slinky" coils for neuromagnetic stimulation.

Future advances in neuromagnetic stimulation depend significantly on the design of coils with improved focality. Although in the absence of internal current sources, no true focusing of magnetically induced currents is possible, improvements in the focality of current concentrations passing through an area of biologic tissue are achievable through variations of the shape, orientation and size of neuromagnetic stimulating coils. The "butterfly" and the "4-leaf" coils are two examples of planar designs which achieve improved focality through centralization of the maximum coil current and peripheral distribution of the return currents. We introduce the "slinky" coil design as a 3-dimensional generalization of the principle of peripheral distribution of return currents and demonstrate its advantages over planar designs.

Transverse-field activation mechanism in magnetic stimulation of peripheral nerves.

The activating function of peripheral nerves in magnetic stimulation is thought to be the gradient of the induced electric field component parallel to the nerve. This implies that there are several orientations of the coil that should not excite nerves. We show that these orientations, however, often yield high-amplitude and even supramaximal muscle response, indicating that the model of the activating function has to be modified. We propose that the electric field component perpendicular to the nerve is responsible for these unexpected muscle responses. Our conclusion is based on practical experiments with different coils and on computer simulations of the induced electric field and its gradient.
