Summary:

This is a human provocation study where the effects of ELF MF on brain activity were studied. Twenty nine healthy participants were either not exposed (sham) or exposed to ELF MF at 3000 microtesla (µT) (15 times above the current international guidelines for public exposure) for one hour, at a frequency of 60 Hertz. Some motor and cognitive tasks were conducted before and after the exposure or sham and the brain activity was monitored using functional magnetic resonance imaging. The authors concluded that the ELF MF exposure changed activity in specific brain regions, although there was no impact on task performance.
