View Original AbstractCell phone radiation causes abnormal brain wave patterns within seconds of exposure, with children showing stronger effects than adults.
Plain English Summary
Ukrainian researchers used specialized brain monitoring equipment to measure how cell phone radiation affects brain waves in awake adults and children. They found that mobile phones caused abnormal slow-wave patterns to appear in the brain within 20-40 seconds of exposure, with children showing stronger effects that appeared faster than in adults. These brain wave changes disappeared 15-20 minutes after turning off the phone, suggesting cell phones can temporarily alter normal brain activity.

The results suggested that cellular phones may reversibly influence the human brain, inducing abnormal slow waves in EEG of awake persons.
