Thirty minutes of mobile phone exposure at typical SAR levels showed no immediate effects on eye movement control in healthy adults.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers tested whether 30 minutes of mobile phone exposure affects eye movement control (saccades) in 10 healthy adults. They measured various types of rapid eye movements before and after exposure to 800 MHz radiation at 0.054 W/kg SAR. The study found no significant changes in eye movement performance, suggesting short-term mobile phone use doesn't impair this aspect of brain function.

Study Details

To investigate whether exposure to pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic field (pulsed EMF) emitted by a mobile phone has short-term effects on saccade performances.

A double blind, counterbalanced crossover design was employed. In 10 normal subjects, we studied the...

With the exception of VGS and MGS latencies, the parameters of VGS, GAP and MGS tasks were unchanged...

Thirty minutes of mobile phone exposure has no significant short-term effect on saccade performances.
