Characterizing current density distributions in the brain of healthy volunteers can provide important information to guide electrical stimulation therapies. Current-induced magnetic fields, produced as a result of electrical stimulation, can be mapped from phase changes in the MR imaging then current density can be computed using Maxwell’s equations. In this study, we present the first current density distribution induced magnetic field maps in healthy volunteers resulting from electrical stimulation using low frequency (10 Hz) transcranial alternating current simulation (tACS).
