SimNIBS

The main goal of SimNIBS is to calculate electric fields caused by Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TES) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

The pipeline is divided in three parts:

1. Automatic segmentation of MRI images and meshing to create individualized head models
2. Calculation of electric fields through the Finite Element Method (FEM)
3. Post-processing of results for further analysis.

Getting Started

SimNIBS runs on 64bit Windows, Linux and MacOS machines. Please visit the SimNIBS website for instructions on how to download and install SimNIBS.
