Abstract
Purpose: To assess the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by mobile phones (MP) on the 1 - 20 Hz event-related brain oscillatory EEG (electroencephalogram) responses in children performing an auditory memory task (encoding and recognition).
Materials and methods: EEG data were gathered while 15 subjects (age 10 - 14 years) performed an auditory memory task both with and without exposure to a digital 902 MHz MP in counterbalanced order. Results: During memory encoding, the active MP modulated the event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS) responses in the ∼4 - 8 Hz EEG frequencies. During recognition, the active MP transformed these brain oscillatory responses in the ∼4 - 8 Hz and ∼15 Hz frequencies. Conclusions: The current findings suggest that EMF emitted by mobile phones has effects on brain oscillatory responses during cognitive processing in children. |
