ID Number 1400
Study Type Human / Provocation
Model 0.1 to 960 MHz (CW), 8.5 to 9.6 GHz (PW) exposure to humans and analysis of EEG and behavior
Details

Human volunteers (n=10) were exposed in a pilot study to 0.1 to 960 MHz (CW) as well as 8.5 to 9.6 GHz (PW) RF at power densities less than 10(-9) mW/cm2 and analyzed for temporary changes in brain waves and behavior. The authors report effects of exposure at frequencies between 130 to 960 MHz (CW) at a power density of 10(-11). The authors state that this level is substantially below typical urban levels and speculate that relaxation of protein-bound water (occurring between 100 to 1,000 MHz), constructive / destructive interference patterns from standing waves within the skull, and quantum effects might be the mechanistic basis for EEG changes observed in most subjects.
