Abstract(in English) TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a method which stimulate the neurons in the brain by using a coil. Since stimulated area is difference from coil positions, to identify the coil position and orientation is an important factor for TMS. An electric field distribution induced by the coil is an important criteria to identify the positions. The induced electric field in the head is physically simulated from a 3D conductor model. The conductivity model is constructed from applying a given conductivity value to segmented brain areas (eg. gray matter, white matter) by using MR images. In conventional method, the segmentation is time-consuming because of complexity of brain and diversity of subjects, hence real time simulation of the electric field is not disable. Thus, we propose a method which estimate the electric field in real time by using neural network. The neural network has a problem that outputs of the network are not always satisfied with Maxwell's equation. Therefore, we add a regularization term to loss function to constrain the output of the network.
