Nov 13, 2025
RF Safe argues that an acute laboratory finding—reported as increased ad-libitum energy intake after brief 3G handset exposure versus sham—supports its proposed “S4 Timing Fidelity” mechanism for non-thermal RF effects. The post links the behavioral outcome to hypothalamic energy-sensing and autonomic changes via…

This protocol and pilot study evaluated whether smartphone signal strength indicators can be converted into RF-EMF exposure estimates using derived formulas and regression models. The study reports a positive log-linear association between LTE RSSI and far-field (base station) exposure aggregated by location, while…

This double-blind, counterbalanced cross-over study investigated whether extremely low frequency (DC to at least 40 kHz) fields emitted by GSM handsets affect resting EEG. In 72 healthy volunteers, the authors report a decrease in the alpha band during 20 minutes of ELF exposure in the exposed hemisphere only. They…
Comparison of the effects of continuous and pulsed mobile phone like RF exposure on the human EEG.

This study tested whether GSM-like RF exposure affects resting human EEG, focusing on alpha band power and non-linear EEG features. Using a fully counterbalanced cross-over design with 12 participants and a dipole antenna intended to better resemble handset exposure, the authors found no changes after 15 minutes of…
