Abstract
Electromagnetic brain transcranial stimulation techniques have emerged to treat certain pathologies that require precise anatomical localization in the scalp to access the underlying cortical targets. For example, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an effective treatment for major depressive disorder when targeted at the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) [1,2]. The 10–20 international system of electrode placement has been increasingly applied to locate the DLPFC, allowing the placement of a stimulation device above the F3 position.
