End user license agreement [v0.3 / June 9, 2021]

1) Software: The toolbox has been developed jointly at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) by Sergey N. Makarov et al. The software is provided ‘as is’ and it is intended to be used solely for research purposes for computational modeling of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The software is NOT approved for any medical diagnostic or therapeutic applications. Neither the institutions (WPI / MGH) nor the authors (S.N. Makarov et al.) take any responsibility of the correct usage or the accuracy of the results produced by the distributed software.

2) The use of this software is subject to the terms of the standard 2-Clause BSD License as recognized by the Open Source Initiative (https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) The license keyword is bsd-2-clause.

3) Coil models: All the coil models included are approximate and while they may or may not reflect the geometries of commercially available TMS coils, the resulting computational electromagnetic field estimates may differ from their experimental values.

4) Head/Body models: The human head/body model that is provided as a part of the toolbox distribution has been derived from a pre-existing dataset, and its usage in the context of this toolbox must adhere to the following citations*
