この研究は、デジタル無線電話のハンドセットから放射されるものと同様の無線周波電磁界(RF EMF:900 MHz、空間ピークSAR =1 W / kg)のばく露を受けた健康な若い被験者における脳生理学的影響を調べた。第1実験は、夜間の8時間の睡眠中、断続的ばく露を行なった。第2実験は、日中の3時間の睡眠の前に30分間、脳の片側へのばく露を行なった。加えて、ばく露の変動性および不確かさの評価を含めた、脳領域の詳細なドシメトリーも実施した。その結果、擬似ばく露の対照条件下に比べ、ばく露条件下で、初期のレム睡眠時の脳電図(EEG)スペクトルパワーが、どちらの実験においても、9 - 14 Hzで増加した;2つの実験において、RF EMFばく露の影響に関して脳構造学上での差異は観察されなかった;覚醒中の片側ばく露であっても、両半球に同様の影響を引き起こした;睡眠中のばく露は、睡眠開始後の覚醒を減少させ、心拍変動に影響を与えた;睡眠前のばく露は、覚醒時および睡眠ステージ1における心拍数を低下させた;、と報告している。

Extended analysis of the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure with two different distributions of the SAR on EEG topography and on heart rate. Additionally, detailed dosimetry of the brain areas is presented.
In two previous studies the authors demonstrated that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields similar to those emitted by digital mobile phone handsets affect brain physiology of subjects exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields either during sleep or during the waking period preceding sleep (see publication 758 and publication 4766).
First experiment: Subjects were exposed intermittently during an 8 h nighttime sleep episode (for details see publication 758).
Second experiment: Subjects were exposed unilaterally for 30 min prior to a 3 h daytime sleep episode (for details see publication 4766).

synthesized base station-like signal with seven bursts (slots 0-6) on and one off (slot 7); several frames of the multiframe (104 basic frames) were additionally modified; this signal structure resulted in the spectral components of 2, 8, and 217 Hz, plus the corresponding harmonics; the burst and the intermittency (20 µs) between the bursts led to additional components at 1733 Hz and 50 kHz |

Compared to sham exposure, spectral power of the non-REM sleep electroencephalogram was initially increased in the 9-14 Hz range in both experiments. No topographical differences with respect to the effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure were found in the two experiments. Even unilateral irradiation during waking induced a similar effect in both hemispheres. Exposure during sleep reduced waking after sleep onset and affected heart rate variability. Irradiation prior to sleep reduced heart rate during waking and stage 1 sleep.
Simulations of the SAR distribution within the brain support the interpretation that subcortical structures may be responsible for the revealed effect on the sleep EEG.
