Summary
Double-blind provocation study using a DECT cordless-phone base station at ~2.4 GHz. A subset of participants showed rapid, significant increases in heart rate and shifts toward sympathetic dominance during real exposure vs. sham.
Key findings
- 0140% of subjects had heart-rate reactions during real RF exposure
- 02Heart-rate variability shifted toward sympathetic activation within seconds
- 03Reactions occurred in the absence of conscious awareness of exposure
