Twenty minutes of 3G phone radiation produced no detectable changes in brain electrical activity during cognitive tasks.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed 29 people to 3G mobile phone radiation for 20 minutes and measured their brain's electrical activity while they performed a listening task that required attention and focus. They found no measurable changes in brain wave patterns or response times compared to fake exposure sessions. This suggests that brief exposure to 3G phone radiation doesn't immediately alter basic brain processing functions related to hearing and attention.

Study Details

We investigated the potential effects of 20 min irradiation from a new generation Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) 3G mobile phone on human event related potentials (ERPs) in an auditory oddball paradigm.

In a double-blind task design, subjects were exposed to either genuine or sham irradiation in two se...

We found no significant effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) irradiation on the amplitude and late...
