This study describes a non-contact, non-invasive method to measure electromagnetic activity attributed to the human brain using a lightweight helmet and a shielded EMF channel around a sensor. Volunteers performed metronome-synchronized tasks intended to elicit movement, thoughts of movement, and emotional thought.…

This laboratory study examined radiofrequency EMF exposure between 1 and 5.9 GHz as a method to control yeast growth relevant to food spoilage. The authors report reduced yeast viability at all tested frequencies and note that antenna-to-sample distance affected the outcome. Electron microscopy findings are described…

This experimental rabbit study evaluated retinal effects of GSM cell phone simulator microwave irradiation at different distances and durations. ERG outcomes 7 days after exposure showed no statistically significant differences between groups, although irradiated eyes showed non-significant trends toward greater…

This paper describes an engineering approach to avoid RF/microwave radiation in wearable EEG data transmission by using visible light communication. The system performance was tested at different illuminance levels and an algorithm for low-illuminance operation was proposed. The authors report error-free transmission…

This engineering-focused study examined how inter-electrode distance in transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) affects electric field distribution in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord. Peak E-field magnitudes occurred in the lumbo-sacral region for all configurations. Larger electrode separations…

This paper presents a near-field RF exposure assessment method comparing standard SAR estimation from E-field measurements in tissue-simulating liquid with a proposed approach based on incident H-field measurements. Experiments were conducted at 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz using dipole antennas and a flat phantom, with…

This engineering study assesses optimal RF frequencies for wireless communication with intraoral electronic devices using an intraoral tongue drive system as an example. It compares 27 MHz, 433.9 MHz, and 2.48 GHz based on path loss, radiation patterns, and bit error rate tests, with adaptive impedance matching…

This field experiment examined short-term (48-hour) exposure to RF EMF from a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone base station on reproductive endpoints in four invertebrate species. The study reports no significant effects of exposure metrics on fecundity or number of offspring, and notes that distance was not a suitable proxy…

This cross-sectional survey study (LEXNET project) examined how subjective exposure knowledge relates to risk perception (RP) for different RF EMF sources. Respondents were more concerned about base stations than other sources. Regression results suggested that most exposure-characteristic features (except distance)…

This occupational exposure assessment monitored surgeons during 11 surgeries using monopolar electro surgery units and measured electric and magnetic field strengths during cutting and coagulating modes. Electric fields near the cable at 10 cm were reported in the hundreds of V/m, while magnetic fields were

This engineering study investigated factors affecting electro-dewatering of activated sludge under a horizontal applied electric field. It reports optimal performance without altering sludge pH or conductivity and finds that CPAM conditioning improves and accelerates dewatering. The authors provide operating…

This study investigates instrumentation and procedures to assess electromagnetic exposure from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by measuring both incident and induced fields in the 10 kHz–1 MHz range. For some CFLs, incident electric fields exceeded ICNIRP reference levels at close distances, but induced fields were…

This methods study evaluated an MRI-based surface distance measurements (SDM) approach for localizing Broca's area for TMS coil placement without external tracking devices. Coil positioning using SDM was compared with an advanced frameless stereotaxic navigation system. The reported mean difference between methods…

This paper studies the spin-glass transition in a magnetic field using a diluted one-dimensional long-range Ising model with distance-dependent bond probability. The authors report evidence for a spin-glass transition in a magnetic field both within and beyond the mean-field regime. They also report such evidence for…

This critical review summarizes human research on static magnetic field (SMF) therapy delivered by permanent magnets attached to the skin and evaluates how well studies report SMF dosage and treatment parameters. Across 56 included studies, many did not report essential SMF characteristics (e.g., magnet dimensions,…

This engineering study reports spectroscopic determination of net electric field distribution in a dielectric barrier surface glow discharge in low-pressure air. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to infer electric field distribution from the intensity ratio of nitrogen spectral lines at 391.4 nm and 337.1 nm.…
