EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY 60 Hz ELECTRIC FIELDS ON PRIMATE BEHAVIOR NATURAL (SOCIAL) BEHAVIOR

Unknown authors

Researchers exposed African baboons to extremely high-intensity 60 Hz electric fields (up to 60 kV/m) to study effects on both individual performance and social behavior. This preliminary study was designed to develop protocols for a larger investigation into how power line frequency fields affect primate behavior. The research examined baboon behavior before, during, and after exposure to determine if electric fields at these intensities cause measurable behavioral changes.

ELABORATION OF A VASCULAR CONDITIONED REFLEX IN MAN TO A CHANGE IN THE TENSION OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD OF HIGH FREQUENCY

G. F. Plakhanov, V. V. Vedyushkina

Soviet researchers investigated whether humans could develop conditioned reflexes to high-frequency electromagnetic fields by measuring vascular responses using plethysmography. This study examined if blood vessel changes could be trained to occur in response to EMF exposure, suggesting the body's circulatory system can detect and respond to electromagnetic field changes. The research represents early evidence that EMF exposure triggers measurable physiological responses in humans.

MICROWAVES AFFECT THERMOREGULATORY BEHAVIOR IN RATS

Stern

This research by Stern examined how microwave radiation at 2450 MHz affects temperature regulation behavior in laboratory rats. The study found that microwave exposure altered how rats naturally respond to temperature changes, suggesting these electromagnetic fields can disrupt biological processes that control body temperature. This matters because it demonstrates microwaves can affect fundamental biological functions beyond just heating tissue.
