Effects of EMF on the human brain activity

This paper reports on: (i) a review of published research on the neurophysiological effects of EMF; and, (ii) experiments carried out to determine whether a 50 Hz Electric and Magnetic Field (EMF) similar to those associated with electric power transmission lines or appliance use affect the human brain function. The literature review indicated that only very few research results have been reported. The authors' experiments measured the human brain reaction time and mental rotation under the EMF and sham exposure. No statistically significant differences were observed due to field status.
