EHS subjects do not perceive RF EMF emitted from smart phones better than non-EHS subjects.

View Original AbstractPeople with electromagnetic hypersensitivity cannot detect cell phone radiation any better than others, suggesting symptoms aren't due to enhanced EMF perception.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether people who report electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) could actually detect cell phone radiation better than those without the condition. In a double-blind study, 37 participants were exposed to real and fake cell phone signals at levels similar to normal phone use, but neither group could reliably tell when the radiation was present. The findings suggest that EHS symptoms may not be directly caused by the ability to physically sense electromagnetic fields.
Study Details
In this double-blind study, two volunteer groups of 17 EHS and 20 non-EHS subjects were investigated in regards to their perception of RF-EMFs with real and sham exposure sessions.
Experiments were conducted using a WCDMA module inside a dummy phone with an average power of 24 dBm...
In conclusion, there was no indication that EHS subjects perceive RF-EMFs better than non-EHS subjects.
