View Original AbstractThirty minutes of mobile phone exposure showed no effect on brain's eye movement control, with identical results in real and fake exposure groups.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether 30 minutes of mobile phone exposure affects eye movement control, specifically the brain's ability to suppress unwanted eye movements (called saccades). They found no significant effects on this type of brain function after exposure. Both real phone exposure and fake exposure produced similar small changes in eye movement patterns, suggesting the changes were unrelated to the electromagnetic fields.
Study Details
To investigate whether exposure to a pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic field (pulsed EMF) emitted by a mobile phone has short-term effects on the inhibitory control of saccades.
A double-blind, counterbalanced crossover study design was employed. We assessed the performance of ...
After EMF or sham exposure, we observed a slight but significant shortening of latency in the CUED a...
Thirty minutes of mobile phone exposure has no significant short-term effect on the inhibitory control of saccades.
