View Original AbstractThis study found no immediate brain wave changes from 30 minutes of 3G phone exposure, but doesn't address long-term effects.
Plain English Summary
Hungarian researchers exposed 43 people to 30 minutes of 3G mobile phone radiation and measured their brain activity using EEG (electroencephalography), which records electrical signals in the brain. They found no changes in brain wave patterns, auditory processing, or the brain's ability to detect unexpected sounds compared to fake exposure sessions. This suggests that brief 3G phone exposure doesn't immediately alter measurable brain electrical activity.
Study Details
Potential effects of a 30 min exposure to third generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile phone-like electromagnetic fields (EMFs) were investigated on human brain electrical activity in two experiments.
In the first experiment, spontaneous electroencephalography (sEEG) was analyzed (n = 17); in the sec...
We found no measurable effects of a 30 min 3G mobile phone irradiation on the EEG spectral power in ...
In summary, the present results do not support the notion that a 30 min unilateral 3G EMF exposure interferes with human sEEG activity, auditory evoked potentials or automatic deviance detection indexed by MMN.
