1. A method for generating a three-dimensional brain map, the method comprising: (6) (6)

acquiring a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of an object;

segmenting the brain MRI image into a plurality of regions;

generating a three-dimensional brain image of the object including the plurality of regions, using the segmented brain MRI image; and

generating a three-dimensional brain map of the object, the three-dimensional brain map being capable of simulating a process of delivering electrical stimulation to the brain of the object, based on properties of each of the plurality of regions included in the three-dimensional brain image,

wherein the segmenting includes:

acquiring the segmented brain MRI image of the object by inputting a brain MRI image of the object to a model learned using a plurality of processed brain MRI images.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the processed brain MRI image is an image obtained by labeling each of a plurality of regions included in the processed brain MRI image, and (0) (1)

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating of the three-dimensional brain map of the object includes: (0) (1)

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating of the three-dimensional brain map of the object includes: (2) (2)

acquiring a physical characteristic of each of the plurality of regions for simulating a flow of current according to electrical stimulation to the brain of the object, and

wherein the physical characteristic includes at least one of isotropic electrical conductivity and anisotropic electrical conductivity of each of the plurality of regions.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the acquiring of the physical characteristic includes: (0) (2)

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the brain MRI image of the object includes a diffusion tensor image, and (0) (2)

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (1) (2)

acquiring a stimulation target point to apply electrical stimulation on the brain of the object; and

acquiring a position to apply electrical stimulation to the head of the object to apply electrical stimulation to the stimulation target point, using the three-dimensional brain map.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the acquiring of the position to apply the electrical stimulation includes: (0) (2)

10. A computer program being combined with a computer which is hardware and being stored in a computer-readable storage medium to perform the method of claim 1. (0)
