This randomized, double-blind, counterbalanced provocation study tested whether short-term RF-EMF exposure alters salivary cortisol in 72 predominantly young, healthy adults. Active exposure (2 W/kg peak SAR10g in head) showed no significant effect on cortisol compared with sham, and no sex differences were observed.…

This double-blind, randomized, counterbalanced study tested whether acute GSM-like 920 MHz RF-EMF exposure affects visual event-related potentials in 36 healthy adults. Compared with sham, exposure was associated with reduced P1 amplitude and increased anterior N1 latency, with no effects on other ERP measures. The…

This double-blind, counterbalanced cross-over study investigated whether extremely low frequency (DC to at least 40 kHz) fields emitted by GSM handsets affect resting EEG. In 72 healthy volunteers, the authors report a decrease in the alpha band during 20 minutes of ELF exposure in the exposed hemisphere only. They…

This study tested whether GSM-like RF exposure affects resting human EEG, focusing on alpha band power and non-linear EEG features. Using a fully counterbalanced cross-over design with 12 participants and a dipole antenna intended to better resemble handset exposure, the authors found no changes after 15 minutes of…
