Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		900 MHz (GSM) exposure to humans and analysis of evoked potential (electro-dermal) brain activity
Details		Human volunteers (n = 15) were exposed to 900 MHz (GSM) for 30 minutes prior to analysis from a mobile phone positioned to the ear using a specially designed holder (no detailed SAR information). Exposure was performed by linking the phone in an active call. The evoked potential was initiated by physical stiking of the patella tendon with a small hammer, and electrodermal response measured using electrodes on each hand. The authors report exposure increased latency of the neuronal response ~200 ms, and suggest such effects could impair information processing in the CNS.

Comments		since no control of phone heating during active transmission, the subjects were probably not blinded during the exposure periods. No SAR in any case during active exposure.
