Feb 26, 2026
This randomized, between-subjects study in 98 healthy volunteers tested whether patterned EMF stimulation alters Digit Span performance and EEG activity. Theta-Burst stimulation reduced working memory (Digit Span Backward) and was associated with increased high-alpha activity in frontal regions. Theta-Gamma…

This randomized, triple-blind crossover study examined whether 26 GHz (5G millimeter-wave) exposure affects human EEG activity. Thirty-one healthy young adults completed real and sham 26.5-minute exposures at 2 V/m, with EEG recorded before, during, and after exposure. The study reports no significant effects of…

This animal study tested whether low-intensity theta burst patterned electromagnetic fields (TBEMF; 1 μT; bursts at 100 Hz) affect fear-related learning in planaria using a T-maze with aversive light. The light-only group showed behavioral changes consistent with learning to avoid the aversive arm, while TBEMF…

Jan 1, 2017
This mouse study examined whether 50 Hz, 1 mT electromagnetic field exposure affects working memory and hippocampal electrophysiology. The authors report reduced Y-maze working memory performance after 3 days of EMF exposure, accompanied by decreased hippocampal firing rates. They also report reduced theta and…
