“…Others teams have developed a feasible low-cost solution to track coil positions during rTMS procedures, but the setup and run of the clinical experiment are time-consuming processes (Dayan et al 2016;Rodseth et al 2017;Washabaugh and Krishnan 2016). Although, our method that adjusts the 10-20 system EEG for the participant's skull size, conversely to other (Beam et al 2009), have the benefit of taking into account differences in cortical anatomy or skull sizes between each individual in a quick and low-cost way.…”

GeodesicSlicer: a Slicer Toolbox for Targeting Brain Stimulation

NonInvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) is a potential therapeutic tool with growing interest, but neuronavigation-guided software and tools available for the target determination are mostly either expensive or closed proprietary applications. To address these limitations, we propose GeodesicSlicer, a customizable, free, and open-source NIBS therapy research toolkit. GeodesicSlicer is implemented as an extension for the widely used 3D Slicer medical image visualization and analysis application platform. GeodesicSlicer uses cortical stimulation target from either functional or anatomical images to provide functionality specifically designed for NIBS therapy research. The provided algorithms are tested and they are accessible through a convenient graphical user interface. Modules have been created for NIBS target determination according to the position of the electrodes in the 10-20 system electroencephalogram and calculating correction factors to adjust the repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) dose for the treatment. Two illustrative examples are processing with the module. This new open-source software has been developed for NIBS therapy: GeodesicSlicer is an alternative for laboratories that do not have access to neuronavigation system. The triangulation-based MRI-guided method presented here provides a reproducible and inexpensive way to position the TMS coil that may be used without the use of a neuronavigation system.
