Impact of expectancy on fatigue by exposure to the fifth generation of mobile communication signals

This randomized sham-controlled study in 21 healthy participants tested whether routine-level 5G RF-EMF exposure affects fatigue and EEG power, while manipulating expectancy via correct, false, or no information about exposure order. The study reports no change in EEG power with real versus sham exposure. However,…

Experimental Study of Animal Behavior under the Influence of the Electromagnetic Field of the 5G Mobile Communication Standard

This pilot animal study exposed mature male Wistar rats to 4.9 GHz electromagnetic fields described as 5G-standard, for 15 days (2 hours/day) in a semi-anechoic shielded chamber. Open-field testing found no clear behavioral differences between unmodulated and modulated exposures. Statistically significant behavioral…

Spatial electromagnetic field intensity modelling of global system for mobile communication base stations in the Istanbul Technical University Ayazaga campus area.

This study measured RF electric field intensities at 900 and 1800 MHz at 29 points on the Istanbul Technical University campus and produced spatial EMF intensity heat maps using GIS interpolation. Three interpolation methods were compared and the mapped measurements were evaluated against ICNIRP reference limits. All…

Study on effective improvement of mobile phone sound quality in a noise environment for the hearing-impaired.

This study evaluated whether the NAL-NL1 hearing-aid fitting formula is appropriate for hearing-impaired mobile communication, comparing it with a modified fitting formula. Speech materials were low-pass filtered at 8 kHz and presented through a mobile phone for word-recognition testing in quiet and noisy conditions.…
