Simulating tDCS-induced electric fields in stroke patients: Realistic-lesion head models are needed
Stroke lesions affect tDCS-induced E-fields with substantial variability across montages and individuals. These findings support the use of head models that include realistic representations of the shape, size and conductivity of the lesions to improve the accuracy of individualized tDCS simulations and guide personalized stimulation protocols in stroke rehabilitation.
