Abstract
In clinical applications, peripheral nerve stimulation is usually delivered by means of commercial devices. The main use of these devices is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, in fact the coils are designed for a good stimulation of brain. The purpose of this paper is to design a new coil for magnetic stimulation of nerves, which allows a deep stimulation but, at the same time, characterized by high focality. The problem so formulated is a multi-objective one. The multi-objective Biogeography Based Optimization algorithm (BiMO) is applied to solve the inverse problem.
