Medical/biological Study (experimental study)

Cellular phone electromagnetic field effects on bioelectric activity of human brain. med./biol.

By: Lebedeva NN, Sulimov AV, Sulimova OP, Kotrovskaya TI, Gailus T
Published in: Crit Rev Biomed Eng 2000; 28 (1-2): 323 - 337 ( open external web page PubMed Entry , open external web page Journal web site )

Aim of study (according to author)
To study EEG reactions to cellular phone electromagnetic field exposure.

Endpoint

Exposure
General category: mobile phone

Field characteristicsParameters
902.4 MHz
exposure duration: continuous for 15 min
power flux density: 0.06 mW/cm²

FIELD View further expo parameters

Exposed system:
human
partial body exposure: head

Methods
Endpoint/Measurement parameters/Methodology

investigation on living organism
investigated organ system: brain/CNS

time of investigation: during and after exposure

Main outcome of study (according to author)
The data indicate that bioelectrical human brain activity is modified under electromagnetic field cellular phone exposure. A significant increase of global correlation dimension during the exposure and afterexposure period was discovered (more pronounced in the case of "eyes closed"). That can be viewed as the manifestation of cortex activation under cellular phone exposure.
