This animal study examined whether EMF from a 90 kHz magnetic-coupling resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) system affects mouse cognition and hippocampal neuronal excitability. Mice were exposed for 2, 4, or 8 weeks and assessed with a Novel Object Recognition test and dentate gyrus patch-clamp recordings. The…

This double-blind randomized sham-controlled cross-over study tested short-term RF-EMF exposure effects on cognitive performance in 60 healthy adults aged 60–80 years. Participants completed attentional tasks during exposure to GSM 900 MHz, TETRA 385 MHz, or sham across nine sessions. Two of 16 outcomes showed…

This 4-year cohort study in 871 non-demented older Chinese adults examined frequent digital mobile phone use and changes in cognitive performance. The authors report no significant harmful association between phone use and cognitive functioning. They note users tended to have characteristics linked to better…

This paper reports four experiments examining how a ringing cell phone affects cognitive performance in laboratory tasks and a college classroom lecture. In the lab, auditory conditions (including a standard cell phone ring) produced slower responses than silence, with slower recovery in the ring and song conditions.…
