In particular, electric fields (E-fields) influence the exchange of ions between neurons and their surrounding environment, thereby modulating the activity of targeted brain regions. The design and optimization of brain stimulation technologies increasingly depend on computational electromagnetics. This article provides an overview of E-field modeling in brain stimulation. First, we introduce the computational methods commonly used to determine the E-fields induced during brain stimulation and summarize key findings. Second, we review computational techniques for coil design and electrode placement. Finally, we discuss existing methods to understand and predict how E-fields affect individual neurons. Taken together, these modeling techniques provide a comprehensive perspective on electromagnetic brain stimulation and highlight key challenges and opportunities for future research and technological development.","PeriodicalId":13090,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine","volume":"68 2","pages":"22-34"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148505620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical solvers can reach electromagnetic solutions far beyond the set of analytical closed-form solutions; this is crucial in metamaterials design where the goal is to find the geometry that generates an optimal electromagnetic solution for a desired property. Then why do we still need to create computational methodologies in metamaterials research? And why should we care about analytical models? The simulation and optimization bottlenecks limit the range of applications of the state of the art, hence the room for opportunities to create new computational methodologies. Semi-analytical methods that are customized for classes of applications enable simulation and optimization. We detail the state of the research in customized methodologies using the illustrative example of optical metasurfaces and suggest best practices. We also discuss how machine learning may enhance these methodologies.","PeriodicalId":13090,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine","volume":"68 2","pages":"35-46"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148505735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
