Impact of magnetic-field generated by wireless power transfer of electric vehicles on brain waves and neuro-psychological changes

This pilot study investigates the neuro-psychological impacts of wireless power transfer (WPT) of electric vehicles, by correlating the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with brain wave activities. In our experiments, fourteen subjects participated, under a one-blind controlled 10 MHz EMR of WPT environment. Electroencephalographs (EEGs) were recorded for each 5-minute time session before, during, and after exposure to the EMR. The psychological responses of the participants were inquired by questionnaires with psychometric scales before and after the experiments to correlate the EMR exposure with their psychological status. This study has indicated that the short term EMR of WPT would barely cause any impact on the brain wave activities, and did not lead to specific emotional changes of the participants in the short term exposure to EMR.
