Abstract




This study investigates the design of an optimized single-channel head coil to maximize drive field (DF) amplitudes while minimizing the risk of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) in the human head. Using an optimization algorithm, we select the optimal winding positions on a fixed-length coil and achieve up to 25% increase in DF amplitude for superior portions of the head. Future work will analyze coil parameters and the choice of optimization constraints to increase DF amplitudes within the safety limits, across the entire human head.
