Brief mobile phone exposures at 0.5 W/kg showed no measurable impact on reaction times or motor coordination in healthy adults.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Italian researchers exposed 24 people to GSM mobile phone radiation (902.40 MHz) for three separate 15-minute sessions and tested their reaction times and finger coordination after each exposure. They found no measurable effects on psychomotor performance, though there was a slight non-significant trend toward faster reaction times. The study suggests that brief, repeated mobile phone exposures at typical power levels don't impair basic motor skills and reflexes.
