Study Details

We investigated the effect of EMF vs. sham control exposure on waking regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and on waking and sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) in humans.

In Experiment 1, positron emission tomography (PET) scans were taken after unilateral head exposure ...

Pulse-modulated EMF exposure increased relative rCBF in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ipsilater...

The present results show for the first time that (1) pm-EMF alters waking rCBF and (2) pulse modulation of EMF is necessary to induce waking and sleep EEG changes. Pulse-modulated EMF exposure may provide a new, non-invasive method for modifying brain function for experimental, diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
