Exposure of cat heads to 915 MHz microwave radiation changed evoked tactile and auditory CNS responses at a mean threshold around 5 mW/cm2, with temperature rises always associated.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The study exposed cat heads to 915 MHz microwave radiation and measured evoked tactile and auditory CNS responses. Changes in latency and/or amplitude occurred at a mean threshold of about 5 mW/cm2. Temperature rises were always associated with the changes. Variations in results were noted with different electrode compositions, suggesting possible artifacts.

Finding

Controlled laboratory exposure of the heads of cats to 915 MHz microwave radiation produced changes in latency and/or amplitude of evoked tactile and auditory CNS responses.

In their words

“Controlled laboratory exposure of the heads of cats to 915 MHz microwave radiation produced changes in latency and/or amplitude of evoked tactile and auditory CNS responses.”

Quick Questions About This Study

The study used 915 MHz microwave radiation.
Changes in latency and/or amplitude of evoked tactile and auditory CNS responses were produced.
The mean threshold for maximum absorbed power density was in the neighborhood of 5 mW/cm2.
Temperature rises were always associated with the changes.
Variations in results were noted when recording electrodes of different composition were used, pointing up artifacts.
