This rat study examined whether 50-Hz extremely low-frequency electric fields at 12 or 18 kV/m for 2 or 4 weeks affect mismatch negativity (MMN) and markers of oxidative damage/apoptosis in brain tissue. MMN amplitude was reported to be significantly reduced only in the 18 kV/m, 4-week exposure group versus the…

This engineering-style study measured voltage induced on the human body via capacitive coupling to the environment using a high-impedance measurement head. It then applied earth grounding through a conductive patch and a conductive bed pad. Both grounding methods reportedly reduced coupled 60 Hz mains voltage by at…
