Study Type		In Vivo
Model		900 MHz (GSM) exposure to pigs and analysis of EEG and brain function
Details		Pigs (anesthetized, n = 11) were exposed to 900 MHz (CW, GSM) at 31 W/kg from a dipole antenna positioned proximal to the animal head and analyzed for effects on EEG, ECG, heart rate, blood pressure, brain and body temperature, cerebrospinal and intracranial pressure, partial oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure, function of autonomous nervous system, and other parameters. Anesthesia was delivered to a level where burst-suppression patterns appeared in the EEG. The authors report external RF exposure did not trigger and additional bursts from the burst-suppressed EEG background. The authors reference prior research (Hartikainen 1996, Hartikainen and Rorarius 1999, Yli-Hankala et al 1993, Jntti and Yli-Hankala 2000, Jntti et al 2003) using this burst-suppressed model to demonstrate weak stimulation by various chemical and physical agents that would not have been detected if the awake EEG was used for analysis.
