Cognitive effects of cellular phones: a possible role of non-radiofrequency radiation factors

View Original AbstractThis study found cognitive effects from phones persisted even with radiation virtually eliminated, suggesting some EMF research may measure non-radiation factors.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether cell phone radiation affects cognitive function by having 29 men perform memory tasks while phones were attached to their heads. In a clever twist, they used external antennas placed far away to drastically reduce the actual radiation exposure from the phones. Despite the minimal radiation, they still found the same cognitive effects as in their previous studies with normal phone exposure.
Study Details
To study the cognitive functions of human beings may be altered while exposed to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted by cellular phones
In this brief follow‐up experiment, 29 right‐handed male subjects were divided into two groups. Each...
Despite that, the results remain similar to those obtained in our previous work.
These results indicate that some of the effects previously attributed to RFR can be the result of some confounders.
