Abstract: • We report a patient with different coil-to-scalp distances over motor (11mm) and prefrontal (2mm) regions due to hairstyle. • 120 % MT dosing would have resulted in prefrontal E-fields equivalent to 180 % MT. • E-field dosing may mitigate over-stimulation and determined that only 71.3 % MT was needed in this case.
