“…Preattentive auditory discrimination processing (and short-term memory) reflected by mismatch negativity (MMN) was not affected by a GSM signal in adults [Kwon et al, 2009] or children [Kwon et al, 2010a]. Kleinlogel et al [2008b] and Stefanics et al [2008] found no effects of UMTS signals on auditory discrimination processing in oddball tasks.…”

For the last two decades, a large number of studies have investigated the effects of mobile phone radiation on the human brain and cognition using behavioral or neurophysiological measurements. This review evaluated previous findings with respect to study design and data analysis. Provocation studies found no evidence of subjective symptoms attributed to mobile phone radiation, suggesting psychological reasons for inducing such symptoms in hypersensitive people. Behavioral studies previously reported improved cognitive performance under exposure, but it was likely to have occurred by chance due to multiple comparisons. Recent behavioral studies and replication studies with more conservative statistics found no significant effects compared with original studies. Neurophysiological studies found no significant effects on cochlear and brainstem auditory processing, but only inconsistent results on spontaneous and evoked brain electrical activity. The inconsistent findings suggest possible false positives due to multiple comparisons and thus replication is needed. Other approaches such as brain hemodynamic response measurements are promising but the findings are few and not yet conclusive. Rigorous study design and data analysis considering multiple comparisons and effect size are required to reduce controversy in this important field of research.

“…The argument against a causal influence of RF EMF exposure on cognitive function and CNS in children is also based on three studies [41,42,45]. In their experimental study, Haarala et al [45] used several cognitive tests to measure the effect of RF EMF exposure on memory, reaction time, and vigilance.…”

A review of the scientific literature published until August 2010, covering epidemiological studies on the effects of RF EMF exposure on the incidence of brain tumours and leukaemia in children as well as experimental studies on RF EMF effects on cognition and CNS in children, reveals no or only scant evidence for the assumption that RF EMF exposure poses a hazard to children. This result is at odds with public risk perceptions, i.e. prevailing concerns of (at least part of) the public about adverse health effect of RF EMF. Consequences for risk communication are discussed. A scientifically sound and easy-to-understand risk communication is especially exacerbated by the fact that current risk assessments cannot exclude that RF EMF might have adverse health effects due remaining knowledge gaps, but especially due to the impossibility to prove a non-effect.

“…Ponieważ ucho sąsiaduje ze źródłem PEM, którym jest telefon komórkowy, więk-szość badań ukierunkowywano na sprawdzenie oddziaływania PEM na układu słuchowy, w tym na słu-chowe potencjały wywołane -w trakcie lub po ekspozycji, a nawet po ekspozycji wielokrotnej. Nie zaobserwowano w tych badaniach żadnych skutków oddziały-wania PEM [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Również badania na zwierzętach nie wykazały takiego oddziaływania [47].…”

StreszczenieW organizmie ludzkim do układów najbardziej "elektrycznych" należy układ nerwowy oparty na elektroprzewodzących sieciach neuronalnych. W związku z tym od lat prowadzone są badania mające na celu sprawdzenie wpływu pól elektromagnetycznych (PEM) o różnych częstotliwościach na jego funkcjonowanie. W pracy zaprezentowano wyniki przeglądu literatury naukowej poświęconej oddziaływaniu PEM na funkcjonowanie ludzkiego układu nerwowego, przy czym szczególny nacisk położono na najnowsze prace dotyczące współczesnych bezprzewodowych systemów łączności i transmisji danych. Wyniki opublikowanych prac w większości analizowanych obszarów nie wykazują wpływu PEM na układ nerwowy. Wyjątkami są oddziaływanie sygnału telefonii GSM na zapis EEG -spoczynkowy i podczas snu badanych osób -oraz wpływ częstotliwości radiofalowych na regulację układu krążenia. W pozostałych analizowanych obszarach (wpływ na sen, potencjały wywołane i procesy poznawcze) nie ma spójnych wyników prac świadczących zdecydowanie o oddziaływaniu PEM. Neurofizjologiczne badania wpływu fal radiowych i mikrofal na funkcje mózgu u ludzi nie przyniosły dotychczas jednoznacznych wyników. Przyczynami tego są m.in. różne warunki ekspozycji, duża liczba badanych zmiennych, brak powtarzalności badań i wątpliwości natury statystycznej. Istnieją już jednak wskazówki metodyczne dające szansę na ujednolicenie badań, które zdecydowanie nadal powinny być prowadzone, żeby określić biofizyczne mechanizmy oddziaływania PEM na układ nerwowy. Jednym z aspektów, na które coraz częściej zwraca się uwagę, jest uwzględnianie w badaniach oddziaływania PEM różnic osobniczych. Med.

The research of the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of different frequencies on its functioning have been carried out for years. This paper presents the results of the scientific literature review on the EMF influence on the functioning of the human nervous system with a particular emphasis on the recent studies of the modern wireless communication and data transmission systems. In the majority of the analyzed areas the published research results do not show EMF effects on the nervous system, except for the influence of GSM telephony signal on resting EEG and EEG during patients' sleep and the influence of radiofrequency EMF on the cardiovascular regulation. In other analyzed areas (EMF impact on sleep, the evoked potentials and cognitive processes), there are no consistent results supporting any influence of electromagnetic fields. Neurophysiological studies of the effect of radio-and microwaves on the brain functions in humans are still considered inconclusive. This is among others due to, different exposure conditions, a large number of variables tested, deficiencies in repeatability of research and statistical uncertainties. However, methodological guidelines are already...
