Abstract
English
In this thesis, we explore the use of computational models that numerically solve the electric field during TMS and tDCS in order to improve the spatial precision of these methods. For TMS, we validate the prediction of those newly developed computational models with physiological measurements in healthy subjects as well as in brain tumor patients.
