Main outcome of study (acc. to author)

It appears that exposure to a pulsed microwave field, when the pulse repetition frequency is stable, yields a frequency synchronous to the pulse repetition frequency on the occipital electrocorticogram. This frequency, which is higher than those generally recorded, persists for a few hours after exposure is terminated.
