View Original AbstractCell phone radiation measurably altered brain wave patterns in both healthy people and epilepsy patients, showing our brains respond to RF exposure.
Plain English Summary
French researchers studied how cell phone radiation affects brain activity by measuring electrical responses to sound in 9 healthy people and 6 epilepsy patients. They found that GSM phone signals altered the timing and strength of brain waves, with different effects in healthy people versus those with epilepsy. While the changes were measurable, the researchers couldn't determine if these brain activity modifications cause actual health problems.
Study Details
This study attempted to determine whether there is a localized effect of GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) microwaves by studying the Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP) recorded at the scalp of nine healthy subjects and six epileptic patients.
We determined the influence of GSM RadioFrequency (RF) on parameters characterizing the AEP in time ...
The epileptic patients showed a lengthening of the scalp component N100 (100 ms latency) in the fron...
The present study suggests that radiofrequency fields emitted by mobile phones modify the AEP. Nevertheless, no direct link between these findings and RF-induced damages in brain function was established.
