摘要
This paper aims in determining the necessary characteristics of a magnetic stimulator, capable to trigger stimulation of the spinal cord in a healthy subject. Our previous work showed that the magnetic stimulator used in some preliminary experiments, performed in cooperation with researchers from the Medical University of Vienna, was unable to stimulate the spinal cord, and only adjacent spinal nerves were activated during the procedure.
