Impact on human exposure to low frequency radiation with psychological and brainwave changes

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of exposure to low frequency (LF) radiation with psychological and brainwave changes. 22 subjects under a 100kHz and 0.5A/m magnetic exposure were investigated; the psychological status of the subjects was evaluated by Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS); their Electroencephalographs (EEGs) of the sham exposure and the control exposure were recorded. Outcomes of the experiment are correlated for the psychological changes and brainwave activity of human exposure. Statistical outcomes have indicated that the acute LF exposure will induce psychological changes but there were no significant brain wave changes. The significance level of the statistical outcomes of both psychological responses and the brain wave activity were confirmed with a pair t-test.
