AN EVALUATION OF POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF 45 Hz, 60 Hz AND 75 Hz ELECTRIC FIELDS ON NEUROPHYSIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR OF MONKEYS Phase I: Continuous Wave
Bioeffects Seen
R. Gavalas-Medici, S. R. Magdaleno · 1975
Finding
At 10 V/m there was evidence for a frequency-specific threshold at 7 Hz. Time between responses (interresponse times) was significantly shorter and variability of responding was reduced. When voltage was increased to 56 V/m the direction of the effect was the same as at 10-V/m and the magnitude of the change was markedly increased for both 7 Hz and 75 Hz fields.
