View Original AbstractShort-term GSM phone radiation showed no immediate effects on basic auditory brain processing in this small study.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether cell phone radiation affects how the brain processes sound by measuring auditory brainstem responses (electrical signals that travel from the ear to the brain) in 17 young adults exposed to GSM phone emissions. They found no differences in these brain signals whether the phone was on or off, suggesting that short-term cell phone radiation doesn't disrupt the basic pathway that carries sound information from the ear to the brain.
Study Details
The present study investigated the possible effects of the electromagnetic field (EMF) emitted by an ordinary GSM mobile phone (902.4 MHz pulsed at 217 Hz) on brainstem auditory processing.
Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were recorded in 17 healthy young adults, without a mobile phone ...
ABR waveforms showed no significant differences due to exposure, suggesting that short-term exposure...
