This study found no immediate brain or cognitive effects from cell phone radiation at typical use levels in 15 healthy adults.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers tested whether cell phone radiation from GSM and UMTS networks affects brain activity and cognitive performance in 15 healthy adults. They measured brain waves and reaction times during various mental tasks while participants were exposed to phone radiation at levels typical of actual phone use. The study found no significant changes in brain activity or cognitive function during EMF exposure compared to fake (sham) exposure.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to investigate Effects of weak mobile phone - electromagnetic fields (GSM, UMTS) on event related potentials and cognitive functions.

we tested the effects of both types of unilaterally presented EMF, 1950 UMTS (0.1 and 1 W/kg) and pu...

Neither the UMTS- nor the GSM-EMF produced any significant changes in the measured parameters compar...

The results do not give any evidence for a deleterious effect of the EMF on normal healthy mobile phone users.
