View Original AbstractGSM phone radiation at typical use levels showed no immediate effects on the brain's automatic sound processing abilities.
Plain English Summary
Finnish researchers tested whether GSM mobile phone radiation affects the brain's ability to automatically detect changes in sounds, a key function for processing speech and music. They measured brain responses in 17 healthy adults while exposing them to 902 MHz radiation at levels typical of cell phone use (SAR up to 1.21 W/kg). The study found no changes in the brain's automatic sound processing abilities during EMF exposure.
