Inclusion of the lesion of chronic stroke patients into a volume conduction model: Simulating the influence of the lesion on the electric field distribution generated by tDCS

Stroke is a cerebrovascular disorder with 15 million cases every year worldwide. The most common symptom is motor deficits. In order to overcome such symptoms, the motor brain either repairs the damaged tissue or reorganises to compensate for the injured brain region. To stimulate this reorganisation transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS...
