73 subjcets participated (46 males, 27 females) in two sessions (sham exposure and exposure) on separate days composed of four sequences of testing. Four testing blocks per session were performed: 15 min before the beginning of exposure, 15 and 45 min after the beginning of expoosure and 15 min after the end of the exposure.
two orthogonal coils with a diameter of 1.6 m, spaced 1.2 m apart; each coil consisting of 80 turns of AWG-10 wire mounted with a nonconductive cooling/heating system; test person sitting on an elevated armchair in the middle of the coil system; test person wearing earplugs; for some tests the armchair was pulled back, opening access to a force plate underneath the chair; test person stepped on it and took a standardized position
effects on the neurological system: neurophysiological parameters (EEG; especially alpha rhythmamplitude) and neuromotor parameters (standing balance (sway velocity), voluntary motor function (performance of alternating hand movements, especially duration, i.e. time to make a back and forth wrist rotation with the hands), physiologicaltremor of the dominant index finger (tremoramplitude and power spectrum); experiments partly during eyes open and eyes closed conditions
