View Original AbstractCell phone radiation's effects on brain function proved difficult to replicate consistently, though memory errors still increased during EMF exposure.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 24 people to cell phone radiation (902 MHz) while they performed memory tests and measured their brain waves. Unlike their previous study which found brain wave changes, this double-blind replication study found no consistent effects on brain activity, though it did find more memory errors during EMF exposure. The inconsistent results highlight how difficult it can be to replicate EMF research findings.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to invesitgate Effects of electromagnetic field emitted by cellular phones on the EEG during an auditory memory task: a double blind replication study.
In the present double blind study, all subjects performed the memory task both with and without expo...
We were not able to replicate the findings from our earlier study. All eight of the significant chan...
We conclude that EMF effects on the EEG and on the performance on memory tasks may be variable and not easily replicable for unknown reasons.
