Abstract

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is currently used in psychiatry, neurology, pediatrics, traumatology, and other fields of medicine for the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Currently, the TMS technique is used only in the conditions of stationary clinics with the use of expensive hardware systems and complex software. The first disadvantage of such installations is the mandatory need for medical personnel to perform the procedure. And the second is the weight and size of the device, which makes it absolutely not mobile. An urgent problem is the creation of a portable device that can be used also in ambulatory conditions. There are several problems that need to be solves in order to create the portable TMS-devise. One of them is the choice of functional material for the structural element. The Department of Engineering Science and Technology of MEPhI presents the basic principles of application of a new methodology for the experimental study of the electrophysical properties of composites with a nanometric level of component dispersion.
