Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the specific locations at which the first and second sets of electrode elements are affixed to the right and left sides of the person's head, respectively, are determined by
running finite element simulations for an individual person to calculate a resulting electric field for each combination of positions for the first and second sets of electrode elements, and
selecting the combination of positions for the first and second sets of electrode elements that results in the lowest value of Ψ, where Ψ=σT÷MEANT, where σT is the standard deviation between the mean field intensity of the different compartments, MEANTT is the average field intensity of the different compartments, σT=SD([μi]|i∈{α, β, γ, δ, in}), where SD is the standard deviation, μi is the mean of each compartment i for the cerebral compartments α, β, γ, δ, and “in”, where “in” is the cerebellum/brain stem compartment, and MEANT=mean([μi]|i∈{α, β, γ, δ, in}).
