Abstract
A coil for transcranial magnetic stimulation which is location-specific for unilateral brain regions is designed with multiple spaced apart stimulating elements having current flow in a first direction, and multiple return elements having current flow in a second direction which is opposite the first direction. The multiple stimulating elements and return elements are distributed on one side of a central axis of the coil.
