この研究は、標準GSM携帯電話からの無線周波電磁放射（RFR）へのばく露がヒトの認知機能に及ぼす時間依存性の影響を調べた。48人の健康な右利きの男性被験者は、頭の両側に置かれた2つのGSM電話の1つからのばく露を受けている間、空間作業記憶タスク（左手または右手応答のいずれかが必要）を遂行した。被験者は無作為に3つのグループに分けられた。それぞれのグループは、頭の左側か右側へのばく露または擬似ばく露の3つのばく露条件のいずれかに割り当てられた。実験は50試行／ブロックで12ブロックから成った。応答時間（RT）と応答の正確度が記録された。その結果、最初の2つのブロックにおいて、左側ばく露条件下での右手応答の平均RTは、右側および擬似ばく露グループを合わせて平均したRTに比べ、有意に長いことが示された；これらの知見は、RTへのばく露の影響が存在すること、およびばく露時間が、応答に用いる手およびばく露の側と共に、タスク遂行成績に検出可能なRFRの影響を生じさせる上で重要な役割を果たす可能性があることが示された、と報告している。

To examine time dependence effects of exposure to radiofrequency irradiation, emitted by GSM cellular phones, on cognitive functions of humans. The authors aimed to replicate and extend a previous study (publication 12887); especially to examine time-dependency and slowing of the left-hand response as results of the previous study.
48 healthy males (right-handed) were divided into three groups: 1) exposure to the left side of the head, 2) exposure to the right side of the head, 3) sham exposure. All partcipants performed a spatial working memory task (that required either a left-hand or a right-hand response; 12 blocks of 50 trials). By averaging the reaction times separately for each block, the time course of the radiofrequency irradiation effect could be assessed.
three exposure conditions were tested: i) exposure at the left side of the head ii) exposure at the right side of the head iii) sham exposure

During the first two time blocks, the average reaction time of the right-hand responses [matching condition] was significantly longer under left-side exposure than under right-side exposure and sham exposure averaged together. This result confirms an effect of exposure on reaction times. Left-hand responses [mismatching condition] showed the same pattern, but it was non-significant. The participants failed to judge which phone was operating during the experiment.
Although the present results confirmed some findings from the previous study (e.g. time dependency of reaction times), differences between the present results and previous findings may be due to the following factors: exposure duration, responding hand, side of exposure, and differences in the cognitive tasks. These factors may have major influence on the detection of radiofrequency irradiation effects.
