ID Number		1105
Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		900, 1800 MHz (GSM) exposure to humans and analysis of ELF (2, 8 Hz) modulation components on EEG
Details		Human subjects will be exposed to low frequency components of GSM signals. Specifically, the effects of 8 Hz and 2 Hz magnetic fields generated from the battery current pulses of the mobile phone GSM signal will be examined in the brains of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE) patients who are undergoing pre-surgical evaluation via implanted EEG electrodes, as well as in normal volunteers with surface electrodes. The authors state the purpose of the study as addressing previous results from the Achermann group which examined RF and pulsed RF effects but not the magnetic fields associated with battery pulses from low frequency signal components.
