Mobile phone emission modulates event-related desynchronization of α rhythms and cognitive-motor performance in healthy humans.

This controlled study adds to mounting evidence that cell phone radiation directly affects brain function, even in healthy individuals. The 45-minute exposure duration is well within typical daily phone use patterns for many people, making these findings highly relevant to real-world scenarios. What's particularly significant is that the researchers used a rigorous double-blind, placebo-controlled design that eliminates psychological bias. The altered brain wave patterns and faster reaction times indicate that EMF exposure is actively changing how the brain processes information. While the study authors frame faster reaction times as potentially beneficial 'enhanced neural efficiency,' this interpretation overlooks a crucial point: any measurable change in brain function from external electromagnetic fields demonstrates that our neural systems are being influenced in ways we don't fully understand. The reality is that if EMF can enhance certain cognitive processes, it can also impair others, and we're only beginning to map these complex interactions.
