Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has proven to be effective in reducing the seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy. This therapy greatly benefits from designing personalized electrode montages (electrode positions and currents) that target the appropriate areas of the brain. In the state-of-the-art pipelines, a specialized physician selects these areas and a biophysical model of the patient’s head is used to find an optimal electrode montage that inhibits them. In the Galvani project, we aim to go a step forward and develop a pipeline that uses personalized Neurotwins for mo
