Abstract
Background Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a relatively new phenomenon characterized by experiencing neurological symptoms such as headache, dizziness, anxiety, and insomnia after exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) like those generated by mobile phones and visual display units (VDUs). Although some published reports suggest that EHS is unrelated to the presence of electromagnetic fields, the etiology of EHS is not clearly known. Over the past years our lab has been studying the health effects of exposure of laboratory animals and humans to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as mobile phones, mobile base stations, mobile phone jammers, laptop computers, radars, dentistry cavitrons and MRI. Aim In this paper we introduce a novel method for effective screening of the patients diagnosed with EHS. Method

Aim In this paper we introduce a novel method for effective screening of the patients diagnosed with EHS
Our preliminary results show that EHS patients cannot recognize real and sham exposures in different phases of the experiment
