Main Focus
During my diploma project in Computational Physics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.07.061 (2010)) and
my diploma project in Computer Science (https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.21479 (2011)), both supervised by Axel Thielscher, I simulated the electric field produced in the human brain by
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS).
The software for the simulation of the electric field and
the automated generation of high resolution tetrahedral meshes based on magnetic resonance images of the human
head suited to be used in finite element simulations was released as open
source and is still used and developed today: https://github.com/simnibs/simnibs
