Abstract
The effects of exposure to microwave radiation from cellular mobile telephones on human brain wave potentials or electroencephalograms have been studied. In particular, a large number of small, metallic electrodes typically are placed upon a subject´s scalp, with electrically conducting paste or a glue-like substance to hold them in place. Low voltage signals (< 500 μV) are amplified by the electronics in the EEG recording system. The resulting polygraphic display is then read by unaided visual inspection, followed by spectral analysis.
