The technique of magnetic stimulation of nerve fibres represents a new direction of research in modern medicine. This study starts from a major limitation of the coils used for magnetic stimulation: their inability to specifically stimulate the target tissue, without activating the surrounding areas. The first goal of this study was to determine the optimal configuration of coils for some specific application. Once the coil configuration established, we address other issues that need to be solved: reducing power consumption and coil heating in order to make a step forward in the direction of repetitive magnetic stimulation.
