Plain English Summary
Researchers studied how cell phone frequencies (900 MHz and 1800 MHz) affect brain wave coordination patterns during a memory task. They found that RF radiation changed how different brain wave frequencies work together, with effects varying between men and women. The study suggests that cell phone radiation can alter fundamental brain activity patterns even during cognitive tasks.
Why This Matters
This research reveals something crucial that most people never consider: cell phone radiation doesn't just potentially cause long-term health effects, it actively changes how your brain functions in real-time. The study demonstrates that exposure to common cell phone frequencies (900 MHz and 1800 MHz) alters the coordination between different brain wave patterns during memory tasks. What makes this particularly significant is that these frequencies are identical to those used by GSM cell phones that billions of people use daily. The fact that men and women showed different responses suggests our brains may be uniquely vulnerable to RF radiation in ways we're only beginning to understand. This adds to the growing body of evidence that RF exposure affects neurological function immediately, not just over decades of use.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 900 MHz and 1,800 MHz Duration: 45 min
Study Details
The present study introduces the concept of spectral power coherence (SPC), which reflects the pattern of coordination of the four basic EEG bands (delta, theta, alpha, and beta) at a specific location of the brain.
The SPC was calculated for the pre-stimulus EEG signal during an auditory memory task under differen...
The results showed that delta rhythm is less consequential in the overall cooperation between the ba...
