In one aspect, a portable transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device
for delivering a TMS procedure is provided. The portable TMS device
comprises at least one coil that, when energized, generates
electromagnetic energy, a helmet adapted to fit a user's head and
configured to hold the at least one coil in a predetermined position with
respect to the user's head, and a port having at least one power
connection coupled to the at least one coil, the at least one power
connection adapted to connect the at least one coil to a power source
capable of energizing the at least one coil, the port further comprising
at least one data connection adapted to exchange data with at least one
external component, the port being located on the helmet. In another
aspect a method of positioning a coil with respect to a person's head to
target a desired region of the person's brain with transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) is provided. The method comprises obtaining a
dielectric property map of a portion of the brain, the dielectric map
indicating a spatial distribution of at least one dielectric property
over the portion of the brain, determining a location for the coil based,
at least in part, on the dielectric property map, the location being such
that when the coil is positioned at the location, magnetic energy
generated by the coil is focused on the desired region, and positioning
the coil at the determined location.
