Abstract :
Transcranial magnetic stimulation devices have been widely used for clinic and research purpose, and the design of coils is important for field distribution, focality and target locating. Nowadays, multichannel TMS coil become a research hotspot for its better performance than single coil. In this paper, several coil array types were studied, and their flexible working pattern make it easily to adapt various applications. Focaliy of some working patterns was found higher than single coil´s.
