AB An inverse boundary element method and e cient optimisation techniqueswere combined to produce a versatile framework to design optimal TMScoils. The presented approach can be seen as an improvement and extensionof the work introduced by Cobos Sanchez et al. [1] where the optimality ofthe resulting coil solutions was not guaranteed. This new numerical frameworkbased on a constant boundary element method has been e cientlyapplied to produce optimal TMS coils with arbitrary geometry, allowing theinclusion of new coil features in the design process, such as optimised maximumcurrent density or reduced temperature. Even the structural propertiesof the human head were considered using this approach at the design stageto produce more realistic TMS stimulators. Several examples of TMS coilswere designed and simulated to demonstrate the validity of the proposedboundary element method approach, and the obtained results show thatthe described method is an e cient tool for the design of optimal TMS
