Method and instruments for research of weak microwave field influence on human performance and psychophysiological parameters

There are a lot of new experimental data confirming an essential effect of weak microwave field on human psychophysiological state. This influence may have negative consequences for human-operator fulfilling critical mission. The paper covers a new instrumental method for research of the individual human sensitivity to weak microwave exposure. The volunteers were irradiated by the remotely controlled low-intensity electromagnetic fields source under GSM safety specs. Throughout the investigations, volunteers were performing the psychological tests and their heart rate parameters were registered. The paper presents the architecture of the designed hardware-software system and main modules implementation. It also discusses the results of psychophysiological and human's cardiac reactions to microwave fields. The proposed research method and obtained data may be used for operator's state monitoring in Environmental and Structural Monitoring Systems.
