Abstract :
Presents an in-vivo experiment concerning cerebral evoked potentials of rabbits, without and with microwave irradiation of the spinal cord at 4.2 GHz. There is ample evidence of microwave effects. A first careful calculation of the absorbed power seems to show no evidence of a non-thermal effect on the nervous system.<>
