Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a remarkable tool for probing the brain. However, it is still unclear why specific regions in the cortex are excitable by TMS while others are not. This invention provides methods and tools for the design of efficient magnetic stimulators. Such stimulators can excite neuronal networks that were not sensitive to stimulation until now. Stimulation can be carried out both in-vitro and in-vivo. Novel systems and techniques of this invention will enable both treatment and diagnostics by stimulating regions of the brain or neuronal assemblies that were previously unaffected by TMS.

L'invention porte sur la stimulation magnétique transcrânienne (TMS)qui est outil remarquable pour sonder le cerveau. Cependant, on ne sait toujours pas pourquoi des régions particulières du cortex sont excitables par TMS tandis que d'autres ne le sont pas. Cette invention porte sur des procédés et des outils destinés à la conception de stimulateurs magnétiques efficaces. De tels stimulateurs peuvent exciter des réseaux neuronaux qui n'ont pas été jusqu'à présent sensibles à une stimulation. La stimulation peut être effectuée à la fois in vitro et in vivo. De nouveaux systèmes et de nouvelles techniques issues de cette invention permettront à la fois un traitement et un diagnostic par la stimulation de régions du cerveau ou d'ensembles neuronaux qui n'ont pas été précédemment touchés par la TMS.
