  • Abstract
    Reports on the effects of radio frequency exposure on synchronous brain modeling techniques, focusing on electrical activity. Under both normal and abnormal conditions, weak electrical current and voltage signals from nerve cells or neurons in the brain may be recorded noninvasively using electrodes attached to different areas of a person´s scalp Electroencephalography (EEG) is the most commonly used method and protocol for acquiring the spatial-temporal information contained in recordings from multiple scalp electrodes. EEG recordings are used to display wave patterns of electrical activity that occur in the brain and to assess a variety of brain functions in neurological examinations, including sleep patterns (determining different stages of sleep) and assorted psychological disorders.
