Abstract

Understanding the modalities of interaction of electromagnetic (EM) fields with biological material is a key point in the identification of possible induced effects. An integrated approach to model EM field interaction with biological systems is proposed in this paper. Here, a neuronal network is identified as the biological target. In this paper, for the first time, the possible effects of EM signals related to universal mobile telecommunication system and global system for mobile communication standard on the setup model are investigated.
