51 individuals with self-reported electrosensitivity and 132 age- and gender-matched control subjects participated in an open provocation study (both the experimenter and the participant knew when the signal was "on" and when it was "off"), while 48 sensitive and 132 control participants went on to complete two double-blindsessions (exposure and sham exposure; each session was spaced at least one week apart). Airwave is the new communication system currently being rolled out across the United Kingdom for the police and emergency services.
