Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) suffers from poor spatial localization and specificity, and recent research has focused on improving these characteristics via stimulation coil design. The design of a stimulation coil necessitates models of the electromagnetic fields induced by the coil and experimental validation of such models. In this work, we propose an MRI-based method to measure the TMS prob?s magnetic field distribution in the head, and present phantom data to demonstrate the measurement
