Distance between exposed object and exposure source
1.5 cm
Setup
A helmet was used to hold the phone in the normal position for use at 1.5 cm from the left ear.
Additional info
Subjects were submitted to three different conditions in double-blind random order: baseline, real exposure, and sham exposure, with at least 48 h between sessions. They wore the helmet in all sessions, but during baseline, there was no phone, and during sham exposure, the phone was switched off. Subjects did not hear any voices or sounds from the phone, and white noise was delivered by means of a loudspeaker during all sessions.
