View Original AbstractThis study found no brain wave changes from 30-minute 3G phone exposure, but doesn't address long-term effects from hours of daily use.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 43 people to 30 minutes of 3G mobile phone radiation while measuring their brain waves and responses to sounds. They found no changes in brain electrical activity, hearing responses, or the brain's ability to detect unexpected sounds compared to fake exposure. This suggests short-term 3G phone use may not immediately affect these specific brain functions.
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
