From: Shaped magnetic field pulses by multi-coil repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) differentially modulate anterior cingulate cortex responses and pain in volunteers and fibromyalgia patients

Figure 4

Three coil configurations used in the PET imaging study are displayed over standard EEG10-20 coil positions. Large circles represent the coils, and the arrows within represent the direction of the primary electrical current within that coil at the point of contact with the scalp. Note that all configurations have the same four geometric centers for each coil, but the coils are variously rotated so as to shape the magnitude and direction of the resulting magnetic field. The diagram is a planar representation of the curved head surface such that F3, F4 (lateral) and Fpz (anterior) positions are actually approximately vertical and at 90 degrees from the most posterior (“top” coil).
