TI-Toolbox: An Open-Source Software for Temporal Interference Stimulation Research.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Temporal interference stimulation is a novel non-invasive brain stimulation approach that promises selective targeting of deep brain structures while minimizing off-target cortical stimulation. Despite a growing interest in temporal interference applications, there is a need for integrated computational tools that seamlessly connect neuroimaging data preprocessing through montage optimization, field simulation, and analysis within a unified framework designed for translational and clinical research. Methods: We developed TI-Toolbox, an open-source software platform that integrates established neuroimaging tools (dcm2niix, SimNIBS, FreeSurfer) with specialized algorithms for temporal interference research. The platform provides end-to-end workflows encompassing structural MRI preprocessing, volume conduction modeling, montage optimization, electric field simulation, and region-of-interest analysis. Both graphical user interface and command-line interface implementations ensure accessibility across user expertise levels. The platform employs containerized deployment via Docker to ensure reproducibility and cross-platform compatibility. Results: TI-Toolbox successfully automates the complete temporal interference research pipeline, from DICOM conversion through final field analysis. The platform demonstrates robust performance across operating systems and provides standardized workflows that enhance reproducibility. Furthermore, our case studies support the validity of our HD-EEG mapping approach for montage standardization and the need for individualized modeling for exposure assessment. Conclusions: TI-Toolbox addresses critical infrastructure gaps in temporal interference research by providing researchers with a unified, validated platform that reduces technical barriers and accelerates translational research in non-invasive deep brain stimulation.
