Chamber | Acrylic box/ 20 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm |
Setup | box with upper and lower section placed on a wooden table in the anechoic chamber; two 1.3 cm diameter holes were centered on opposite sides of the lower section, 3.5 cm above the box's floor; Sprague Dawley rats were placed in it with their tails passing through the holes and held by tape on an acrylic bar mounted above the hole at the right side of the box. |

In a series of three experiments, it was revealed that there was a substantial decrease in aggressive behavior during irradiation to electromagnetic energy at incident power densities as low as 50 µW/cm².
