Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		900 MHz (GSM) exposure to human volunteers and analysis of event related potentials
Details		Human volunteers (n = 10) were exposed to 900 MHz (GSM) using a mobile phone held to the head as an exposure system with an estimated SAR of ~0.5 W/kg peak. During exposure, EEG recordings were also taken during acoustic stimuli (tone bursts between 1-2 kHz). The authors report a decrease in the initial contingent negative variation (iCNV) of the evoked potential response with exposure, with a corresponding increase in habituation (reducing arousal and warning response to stimuli). The authors suggest the effects might be either due to the RF, but perhaps also due to the ELF components as some responses were observed with a phone exposure system with a 50 ohm load.
