LTE cell phone radiation measurably altered brain wave patterns at exposure levels equivalent to maximum phone emissions.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed people to electromagnetic fields from LTE cell phone technology (4G networks) and measured their brain activity using EEG. They found that LTE exposure reduced brain wave activity in the alpha and beta frequency bands, particularly in areas of the brain responsible for thinking and processing. This suggests that modern wireless technology can measurably alter normal brain function patterns.

Study Details

Here, we evaluated the changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) due to LTE EMF exposure.

An LTE EMF exposure system with a stable power emission, which was equivalent to the maximum emissio...

Exposure to LTE EMF reduced the spectral power and the interhemispheric coherence in the alpha and b...

These findings also corroborated those of our previous study using functional magnetic resonant imaging.
