1. A method for stimulating a particular area of a brain using a stimulation device, said method comprising:
- detecting a spatial structure of a head;
determining electrical and/or magnetic properties of at least one part of anatomical structures of the head;
calculating an energy amount to be provided by the stimulation device for stimulating the particular area of the brain, said calculation being based on the spatial structure of the head and the determined electrical and/or magnetic properties of at least one part of the anatomical structures of the head.

Abstract
A method for stimulating a particular area of a brain using a stimulation device includes detecting a spatial structure of a head and determining electrical and/or magnetic properties of at least one part of anatomical structures of the head. An energy amount to be provided by the stimulation device for stimulating the particular area of the brain is calculated automatically based on the spatial structure of the head and the determined electrical and/or magnetic properties of at least one part of the anatomical structures of the head.
