New evidence published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE suggests that third generation (3G) mobile phones may alter the brain’s structure and function—especially brain wave activity connected to behavior, mood, and memory loss.
The study is the first single-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to show that a 15-minute 3G-cell phone conversation, directly exposed to the ear, can lead to increased brain wave activity of gamma, beta, and alpha frequency bands. Researchers discovered that the electroencephalography (EEG) changes altered nearly the entire function and structure of the brain.
